The reader will find comparative studies on the concept of peace in Hebrew and the Qur'an in Arabic, and analyzes the Last Judgment of the dead, an aspect of Jewish, Christian and Islamic apocalyptic, from theology, philology and philosophy, drawing on Christian interpreters, Two appendices are added, the first, on the city of Jerusalem in the Christian Apocalypse, with an analysis from the Greek language and Jewish eschatology, and, the second, some theological and philological notes on mercy, from a biblical verse.
With this book the reader will be able to compare the biblical texts of the Torah, the Gospels and the Qur'an in their original languages, from the theologies of each Revelation, something that will not be found in other books that only resort to ancient or modern translations of the Sacred Texts.
The Hebrew and Aramaic texts have been taken for the Jewish scriptures, the Greek for the New Testament, its Latin, Syriac and Coptic versions and their apocryphal texts, and the Arabic text for the Qur'an, in each case in order to present the concepts in their language, culture and theology as original as possible. In turn, classical and modern commentators and the most important biblical translations have been examined to confirm the opinions, theses and commentaries referenced.
The thematic, methodological and scientific diversity of these studies has a twofold purpose; first, to increase the perspectives on such topics from the human sciences such as theology, history, philosophy, phenomenology, philology, hermeneutics, ethics, politics, textual criticism and comparative studies; second, to present a comparison between such sciences in order to recognize their shortcomings and advantages in the case of the study of religions and interreligious dialogue; thus the reader will find Jewish, Christian and Muslim thinkers from ancient, medieval and modern times intertwined throughout the studies in this collection.
For each study there is a way of citing the texts of the Holy Scriptures: in some cases only the Spanish text is cited in order to lighten the reading and in the case that it is not necessary to resort to the original languages for its understanding; while in others the available versions and translations are cited, such as in the case of philological or linguistic analysis of a biblical verse or Qur'anic verse, either in the text itself or in a footnote, when such citation is secondary.
