A Message from Mount Nebo We, the Participants to the Seminar “Prophet

A Message from Mount Nebo We, the participants to the Seminar “Prophet Moses in Judaism, Christianity and Islam”, grateful to the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land, on its 800th Anniversary of institution, the Mount Nebo Franciscan Monastery and the Royal Institute for Inter-Faith Studies for the opportunity of meeting and debating in this sacred place, and to the John XXIII Foundation for religious studies of Bologna which made available its expertise and networks, consider Moses a source of powerful inspiration for the readers of the Torah, the Gospel and the Quran: Moses and the history of impact (Wirkungsgeschichte) of his life and words attributed to him, teach about a veneration which divided and united Jewish, Christian and Muslim people. Hermeneutical effort and theological interpretation indicate how important is to listen and to question, with honesty and respect, each own tradition and that of the others. Gathered to listen to different aspects and interpretations of Moses, we realized the importance of journey and meeting from different perspectives towards new paths of encounter, in the awareness and recognition of dignity of the differences. We are aimed at the shared principles of wisdom, critical thinking, respect, which are the contribution that academic, scientific and religious people may share and ought to be spread and shared with communities. The two days we have spent in Mount Nebo, on the path of Moses, have been a highly positive experience that we would like to repeat in the future in a similar way, in the scope of future research and experiences. And we want to send from the Nebo Mountain a message of hope for peace and respect to the region and the world. Undersigned: the participants to the seminary .
