Biblia, Corán, Tanaj : Tres lecturas sobre un mismo dios

In this work, Roberto Blatt unveils the common origin of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, tracing a path that begins in Sumer, unfolds to the present day, and defines the shifting boundaries of the idea of ​​the West. Through a journey from east to west, the author shows how these three great monotheistic religions, born from a shared root, developed unique interpretations of seemingly similar sacred texts that transformed humanity's understanding of the world, history, and justice. Blatt rigorously examines the complex processes of translation, compilation, and interpretation that shaped the Tanakh, the Bible, and the Quran, revealing both the systematically silenced heterodox voices and the sophisticated hermeneutical systems created by rabbis, Christian theologians, and Muslim scholars, emphasizing that these traditions are not monolithic structures but living organisms in perpetual evolution. But beyond historical analysis, the book illuminates contemporary tensions between these traditions, from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to modern fundamentalisms of various stripes. Blatt argues that understanding these common roots is not merely an exercise in scholarship, but the key to unraveling current crises and humanity's persistent quest for redemption in a brutal world.
