On 2 October 1187, Jerusalem surrendered to Saladin. Comparing the events of 1099 and 1187, ASH explores the history of the Holy City beyond the logic of religious victory: Jerusalem as a sacred place for Jews, Christians and Muslims, and as a call to knowledge, justice and peace.

Beyond the most complex doctrines and interpretations that have accumulated over the centuries, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all uphold one essential principle: every human being is personally accountable to GOD and can choose each day to better themselves.
From Jacob’s Ladder to the Christian paths of holiness, to the purification of the soul in the Islamic tradition, the image that emerges is that of a gradual journey toward GOD, open equally to women and men. Doing good, correcting one’s ways, persevering, and continuing to ascend: for what we sow today prepares what we will reap tomorrow.
The Sabbath is a gift from GOD: a day to cease from work, thank the Creator, remain with family, speak of love, goodness and peace, and contemplate His Word. When human interpretations become more burdensome than the commandment itself, we must return to the essential question: what did GOD actually command?
Happiness does not belong only to the wealthy, the powerful, or the fortunate. It can become a lasting condition when life finds its center in GOD, love, truth, knowledge, and balance. Faith in resurrection also frees the human being from the fear that death may have the final word.
The Jubilee (Yovel) proclaimed freedom, the restoration of property, and social justice. This article offers a respectful reflection on its meaning today, inviting Jews, Christians, and Muslims to examine together their faithfulness to GOD’s commandments.
The doctrine of the eternal family is one of the most distinctive and compelling aspects of Latter-day Saint theology. In this study, we examine this vision with respect and openness, comparing it with the hopes found throughout the Abrahamic traditions and reflecting on the meaning of love, fidelity, and family communion within the eternal plan of GOD.

Pilgrimage: Thoughts from Cassino to Jerusalem is the story of a 3,000 kilometer journey on foot, begun without a single coin, relying solely on people’s solidarity and on Providence. More than a travel diary, it is a reflection on vocation, marked by the tension between doubt and deep theological convictions. In a direct and personal style, the author shares moments of silence, dialogue, and inner clarity, as the road itself becomes a place of prayer and transformation, leading step by step toward the Holy City.
Among the New Testament passages that have generated the widest range of theological interpretations, Titus 2, 13 holds a particularly significant place. Its phrasing has played a crucial role in later Christological developments, especially within post-Nicene theology. Yet, when examined through a careful philological lens and situated within its original historical context, the verse reveals a structure far more restrained and consistent with early apostolic language.
In this study, Abrahamic Study Hall presents a full interlinear analysis of Titus 2:13, guiding the reader back to the foundational level of the text: its grammar, syntax, and the Semitic mindset underlying New Testament Greek. The phrase “the glory of the great GOD and of our Savior, Jesus Christ” is examined word by word, demonstrating that the conjunction and shared article do not necessarily imply a single referent. Rather, they reflect a common biblical pattern used to associate distinct figures within a shared salvific framework.
