THE INTELLIGENCE OF FAITH

A unique perspective on faith, focusing on Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. With a master's degree in History of Religions, Mateus is a journalist, translator, and author of the books *Initiation to Islam and Sufism* (Nova Era, 4th ed.) and *Islamic Mysticism* (Vozes, 3rd ed.). "It is generally believed that there is an insurmountable opposition between Islam and Christianity, and also between Islam and Judaism. Mateus Soares de Azevedo challenges this prejudice with astuteness and erudition, explaining and discussing the common ancestry of the three Semitic religions. This is a meticulous study of a beautiful subject, a labor of love that helps dispel the multiple religious confusions of the contemporary world." (William Stoddart, British writer)
