The sixth volume of the series Key Concepts of Interreligious Discourses investigates the roots of the concept of person in Judaism, Christianity and Islam and its relevance for the present time.

The concept of person lies at the core of central ideas in the modern world, such as the value and development of personal identity, the sanctity of human person and the human rights based on that. In societies that are shaped by a long Christian tradition, these ideas are associated often with the belief in the creation of man in the image of God. But although Judaism shares with Christianity the same Biblical texts about the creation of man and also the Qurʾān knows Adam as the first human being created by God and his representative on earth, the focus on the concept of person is in each one of these religions a different one. So, the crucial question is: how did the concept of person evolve in Judaism, Christianity and Islam out of the concept of human being? What are the special features of personhood in each one of these traditions?
