Sharing Eden sets out to show how respect for the environment is at the heart of the Jewish, Christian and Muslim faiths. Todayâs environmental concerns can trace their heritage through scriptures, teachings and actions known to generations across the centuries. The millions of followers of the Abrahamic faiths have the potential to turn their common environmental awareness into a worldwide force for the future of the planet they share with all people of faith and of none. Combining a lightness of touch with some of the most beautiful and enlightening texts from the Abrahamic scriptures, Sharing Eden is just a beginning.âFinding common ground between Christianity, Islam and Judaism is a critical priority for the whole world and nowhere is that common ground more evident or inspiring than on environmental issues.â Jonathon Porritt.
