Monotheistic charity and giving display many common features. These underlying similarities reflect a commonly shared view about God and his relations to mankind and what humans owe to God and expect from him. Nevertheless, the fact that the emphasis is placed on similarities does not mean that the uniqueness of the concepts of charity and giving in the three monotheistic religions is denied. The contributors of the book deal with such heterogeneous topics like the language of social justice in early Christian homilies as well as charity and pious endowments in medieval Syria, Egypt and al-Andalus during the 11th-15th centuries. This wide range of approaches distinguish the book from other works on charity and giving in monotheistic religions. 410 0$aStudien zur Geschichte und Kultur des islamischen Orients ;$vBd. 22. 606 $aGenerosity 606 $aGenerosity$xReligious aspects 606 $aMonotheism 606 $aCharity 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGenerosity. 615 0$aGenerosity$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aMonotheism. 615 0$aCharity. 676 $a205/.677 701 $aFrenkel$b Miriam$0983253 701 $aLev$b Yaacov$0692015 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455028103321 996 $aCharity and giving in monotheistic religion$92244549 997 $aUNINA
