Consise history of three monotheistic religions

One of the best books I read in this subject. In three volumes you get the origins of the three religions with comparisons and particular beliefs. very valuable comments on scriptures. Book has considerable amount of references and original quotations. I really enjoy the way Mr. Peters writes. I found his book on Life of Mohammed also very nice and informative. These three volumes are also same quality.
