F. E. Peters, a scholar without peer in the comparative study of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, revisits his pioneering work. Peters has rethought and thoroughly rewritten his classic The Children of Abraham for a new generation of readers-at a time when the understanding of these three religious traditions has taken on a new and critical urgency.

He began writing about all three faiths in the 1970s, long before it was fashionable to treat Islam in the context of Judaism and Christianity, or to align all three for a family portrait. In this updated edition, he lays out the similarities and differences of the three religious siblings with great clarity and succinctness and with that same remarkable objectivity that is the hallmark of all the author's work.

Peters traces the three faiths from the sixth century B.C., when the Jews returned to Palestine from exile in Babylonia, to the time in the Middle Ages when they approached their present form. He points out that all three faith groups, whom the Muslims themselves refer to as People of the Book, share much common ground. Most notably, each embraces the practice of worshipping a God who intervenes in history on behalf of His people.

The book's text is direct and accessible with thorough and nuanced discussions of each of the three religions. Footnotes provide the reader with expert guidance into the highly complex issues that lie between every line of this stunning edition of The Children of Abraham. Complete with a new preface by the author, this Princeton Classics edition presents this landmark study to a new generation of readers.

Great for supplemental learning
Format: Paperback
This study guide is an interesting take on drug memorization, though the execution could be better. The coloring concept helps with memory retention, especially for visual learners trying to connect drug names with their uses and classifications. The organization by drug class is logical and helps build understanding of how related medications work. The basic pharmacology information is accurate and the quick-reference format is handy for review. The "made easy" title fits - it breaks down complex medication information into manageable chunks. The coloring activities do help make dry content more engaging, though the quality of the illustrations varies. Some drawbacks: the coloring spaces are sometimes too small for comfortable use, and the paper quality could be better - markers tend to bleed through. Several important newer drugs are missing, and some of the clinical information feels oversimplified. The binding isn't very durable - pages can come loose with regular use. For students, this works best as a supplementary study tool rather than a primary resource. It's helpful for initial learning and quick review before exams, but you'll need more detailed sources for complete medication information. Consider using colored pencils instead of markers, and maybe reinforce the binding before heavy use.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Cool
Format: Paperback
The concept is amazing! I saw my classmate using this for boards (NPLEX)and I decided to get it. I only used it a few times though and never picked it up again because I suck at memorizing and prefer to just learn it the old school way. It’s cool if coloring is how you study. Maybe using it to wind down from an intense study session.
