Reading about Abrahamic religions

[mtbc]

I am reading a book that describes various aspects of the largest Abrahamic religions. So far it has discussed them fairly separately, which means an odd diversity for me in how it feels to read it. I know Christianity well, I have had easy opportunities to find out about Judaism, less so with Islam, though, by odd coincidence, one of my neighbors studied Islam a bit in college. It is curious to experience a book that keeps shifting me between comfortable familiarity, passing acquaintance, and considerable ignorance.

Haha, yes, also definitely quite some large differences in style between, say, Byzantine rite, Methodist, and Southern Baptist, or between the more orthodox and liberal Jews. I know less about stylistic rather than theological differences among Islam, my book has sections like Sufi Ideas About Monotheism but I think it's going to talk more about practice later.
