This book investigates the role of love as an exegetical resource for interpreting the Bible and the Qur'an.

Through surveying the ways in which love was used to make sense of the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim Scriptures, this book advocates and argues for a hermeneutical approach that reads the Bible and the Qur'an through the lens of love. Engaging various exegetical authorities from the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions, Tareq Hesham Moqbel identifies numerous cases of love-informed exegesis covering diverse themes and exegetical techniques.

The exegetical dialogue presented in this book shows that the idea of love takes on greater meaning when studied from the standpoint of comparative exegesis. Moreover, by analysing this topic through a comparative lens, the book argues for a novel conceptualisation of love as an exegetical tool, and a reading ethic, that connects the Abrahamic scriptural traditions and can be applied beyond them.
