Abraham's Resting Place


Click here (bibleplaces.com) for a brief pictorial overview of the Tomb of the Patriarchs located in the southern town of Hebron, a highly sacred (and highly contested) site between both Jews and Muslims (who call the town Khalil, 'friend', in honor of Abraham's/Ibrahim's close relationship with God)...

Do you think that holy sites held in common by Judaism, Islam, and Christianity have the potential to unite peoples of different faiths, or will they forever be flash-points of dispute?
