Description 

Synopsis:

• Three unnamed scholars – representing Christianity, Judaism, and Islam speak about the essence of their respective faiths in this succinct documentary.
• Micah 6:8 –What does God require of you? To act justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with God is the central theme of Judaism. The Book of Leviticus, which commands to love your neighbor as yourself rather than harming him, is central to the faith.
• God incarnate – coming down to us to restore relationship with Him is the heartbeat of Christianity. The blood of Jesus cleansing our sins—not good works and Jesus’ resurrection ensures eternal life – grace is the undeserved gift.
• Establishing justice in every aspect of life—gains and attains the good pleasure of God. Success is derived through works – trying to please a Allah.
• Top quality production values, background music enhances but does not distract message.

Application:

• Islam does not view Allah as a loving Father like He is held in the Jewish and Christian traditions.
• Unlike Judaism and Islam, Christianity alone teaches that man attains favor from God through grace – not works. We are called to obedience to His commands but maintain a clear understanding that we cannot obtain Love through our actions.
• As Islamic tradition speaks of “establishing justice”, it’s important to understand that the definition changes – and that the Koran itself is contradictory—so justice may mean inflicting sharia law on society.
• Christianity shares a rich heritage with Judaism –but they are still awaiting the return of the Messiah, as they do not recognize that Jesus Christ fulfilled the prophesies—and He will return again.

Suggested Uses:

• Incorporating video with study on the three major religions
• Evangelism class—as we relate to our Jewish and Muslim friends, we need to understand their perspectives.
