Academy for Judaic, Christian, and Islamic Studies

The Academy for Judaic, Christian, and Islamic Studies was founded to promote, through academic as well as lay discourse and education, greater understanding of the interrelations and commonality among the three monotheistic religions stemming from a common religious  heritage.  Its mission is the advancement of dialogue among Jews, Christians and Muslims; the conduct of research and publishing the results; and teaching what has been found and experienced.  Today, that important work focuses significantly on a course entitled Judaism, Christianity and Islam: Interrelated Religious Traditions at the University of California, Los Angeles, as well as presentations on that theme at Loyola Marymount University and local houses of worship.
