Description

"To understand how and why the concept of chosenness became so important in religion, Reuven Firestone examines the emergence of Judaism, Christianity and Islam and explores how chosenness became the authoritative marker of authenticity for the competing expressions of monotheism. He discusses how chosenness became a category over which great arguments, inquisitions, and religious wars have been fought. He shows how understanding the notion of chosenness can help you navigate between your beliefs and those of others, and help you make sense of your own unique place in a religiously complex world."--BOOK JACKET.
