The best-known religion that explicitly combines and affirms elements of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam is the Baháʼí Faith.
Key points about the Baháʼí Faith:
- Founded in 19th-century Persia by Baháʼu'lláh.
- Teaches the unity of God, the unity of religion, and the unity of humanity.
- Views Moses, Jesus, Muhammad (and other founders such as Zoroaster, Krishna, the Buddha) as successive "Manifestations of God" in a single, progressive revelation.
- Emphasizes moral and social principles such as the equality of men and women, elimination of prejudice, universal education, and harmony of science and religion.
- Has no clergy; worship includes prayer, community gatherings, and an annual fast.
Other movements that mix Abrahamic elements (but in different ways):
- Messianic Judaism: combines Jewish identity and practice with belief in Jesus as Messiah (blend of Judaism and Christianity).
- Unitarian Universalism: a liberal, pluralistic religion that draws on many religious traditions, including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
- Some esoteric groups (e.g., the Druze) incorporate elements from Islam, Christianity, and other traditions, but they are distinct in origin and doctrine.
If you want, I can give a brief comparison of doctrines (God, scripture, prophets, rituals) across these options or point you to introductory resources on the Baháʼí Faith. Which would you prefer?
