Parables and Shared Stories
Three traditions
remember
Abraham, Noah, Moses, Joseph, Jonah, Mary (peace be upon them): Jews, Christians and Muslims remember the same people. Each tradition tells them in its own words. We set them side by side, and say plainly where they differ.
Twelve shared stories
Parables
Mashal in Hebrew, matla in Aramaic, mathal in Arabic: one family of words for “parable”.
On screen
Films that live in these stories' world. Prophets are never pictured on our pages.
