This dissertation seeks to promote a more robust understanding of common good themes grounded in certain Jewish, Christian, and Muslim concepts of why individuals ought to participate in the common good and who ought to be served through this participation. This comparative process reveals common good themes that take into account much more than a utilitarian concept measured in individual outcomes. This dissertation presents various common good themes that are rooted in the historically-derived narratives of Judaism, Christianity and Islam to encourage inclusive, value-driven, and adoptable participation in the community. More pointedly, these common good themes, spread across religious traditions, ought to serve as a catalyst to ensure participation for members of society especially related to health and poverty.
