Abstract
This contribution explores the notion of an Abrahamic ecumenism as proposed by
Hans Küng and others in search for a way in which Islam, Judaism and Christianity
can live peacefully together. It is argued, however, that to pursue a viable political
pluralism, it is more promising for Christian theology to take into account the
historical development of the image of God instead of an orientation on a common
historical origin in Abraham. The elaboration of the universality of the divine mystery
in history does not have to be won by going back to Abraham, but by going forward
to Jesus Christ and by thinking of and living out of Him.
