Testimonials
Abrahamic Studies Graduate
“Abrahamic studies has helped me see how the Abrahamic faiths have mutually shaped each other throughout history, and has given me a lot of appreciation for the nuances of each faith. . . . The Abrahamic faiths have a lot to learn from each other, and our personal faith journeys are enriched along the way. Studying these faiths comparatively is a great step toward mutual understanding and building reconciliation between the sons of Abraham.”
