Do not fill this in! === Criticism === The appropriateness of grouping Judaism, Christianity, and Islam by the terms "Abrahamic religions" or "Abrahamic traditions" has been challenged.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Boyd |first=Samuel L. |title=Judaism, Christianity, and Islam: The problem of 'Abrahamic religions' and the possibilities of comparison |journal=Religion Compass |date=October 2019 |volume=13 |issue=10 |doi=10.1111/rec3.12339 |s2cid=203090839 |url=https://compass.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/rec3.12339}}</ref> Adam Dodds argues that the term "Abrahamic faiths", while helpful, can be misleading, as it conveys an unspecified historical and [[Theology|theological]] commonality that is problematic on closer examination. While there is a commonality among the religions, in large measure their shared ancestry is peripheral to their respective foundational beliefs and thus conceals crucial differences.{{sfn |Dodds |2009 |pp=230β253}} [[Alan L. Berger]], professor of Judaic Studies at [[Florida Atlantic University]], wrote that "while Judaism birthed both Christianity and Islam, the three monotheistic faiths went their separate ways" and "each tradition views the patriarchal figure differently as seen in the theological claims they make about him".<ref name="Berger">Berger, Alan L., ed. Trialogue and Terror: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam after 9/11. Wipf and Stock Publishers, 2012.</ref>[[Aaron W. Hughes]], meanwhile, describes the term as "imprecise" and "largely a theological neologism".{{sfn |Hughes |2012 |pp=3β4, 7β8, 17, 32}} The common Christian beliefs of [[Incarnation]], [[Trinity]], and the [[resurrection of Jesus]], for example, are not accepted by Judaism or Islam. There are key beliefs in both Islam and Judaism that are not shared by most of Christianity (such as [[Religious restrictions on the consumption of pork|abstinence from pork]]), and key beliefs of Islam, Christianity, and the BahΓ‘ΚΌΓ Faith not shared by Judaism (such as the [[prophet]]ic and [[Messiah|Messianic]] position of [[Jesus and Messianic prophecy|Jesus]], respectively).{{sfn|Greenstreet|2006|p=95}} Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
