Name and discuss the importance of the three major sacred texts of the Abrahamic religions.

The three Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity, and
Islam, are often referred to as "religions of the book" because their religious beliefs
include reliance on scriptural texts as sources of religious authority; in the most
extreme form, this reliance on scripture becomes the "sola scriptura", or salvation by
scripture alone, doctrine of some branches of
Christianity.

All three Abrahamic religions accept the
majority of the Hebrew Old Testament as a religious text. Where they diverge is that
most branches of Judaism accept only the Old Testament and commentaries on it as
containing religious truth, and believe that the Messiah predicted in the Old Testament
has yet to arrive. Christians identify Jesus Christ with the Jewish Messiah, and accept
as Scripture the New Testament accounts of Jesus and his followers as well.  Islam
accepts Jesus and the Jewish prophets, and the Bible as an edifying text, but believes
Mohammed to have been the final religious prophet and the Koran given to Mohammed as the
final and authoritative scriptural text.
