Okay - so there is no "convenient" way to cite those
theologians. "Abrahamic" is a convenient term created to describe a
an actual phenomenon (versus a theoretical one). The term is modern
because it only came about when the "Abrahamic" faiths started
dialoguing with each other.

However, your interest evidences need for explanation. So I did some
light (emphasize *light*) research. Cursory review for your
edification:

See the first two entries for one-liner snippets. If you want to get
intellectual about it, I would encourage you to seek out the journal
article at the bottom. It's heavy reading, but relatively current
and pretty interesting if you are into stuff like this (it also leans
a *lot* into feminist theory, if you dig that kind of stuff too...)
