By tradition he was to bequeath the ring to his heir, but he loved his three sons equally ? so he had two new rings made, crafted to be indistinguishable from the original, and on his deathbed gave a ring to each son. The narrator explains that the father is God, and his sons are the Jews, the Christians, and the Muslims, each believing themselves to be the sole upholders of the true religion. A historical and literary study, the book offers a comprehensive discussion of the various guises of the Parable, from the early Middle Ages onwards, and highlights its capacity to reflect openness and pluralism in the interfaith encounter. 606 $aReligion?History 606 $aReligion?Philosophy 606 $aLiterature, Medieval 606 $aEurope?History?476-1492 606 $aHistory of Religion$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A7000 606 $aPhilosophy of Religion$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E33000 606 $aMedieval Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/818000 606 $aHistory of Medieval Europe$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717070 615 0$aReligion?History. 615 0$aReligion?Philosophy. 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval. 615 0$aEurope?History?476-1492. 615 14$aHistory of Religion. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Religion. 615 24$aMedieval Literature. 615 24$aHistory of Medieval Europe. 676 $a808.8 700 $aShagrir$b Iris$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0884282 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910357839503321 996 $aThe Parable of the Three Rings and the Idea of Religious Toleration in European Culture$91974615 997 $aUNINA
