Book Description
"We are swamped with new books on Islam as a geopolitical force, but Fr. Ovey Mohammed's book is unique in focusing on Muslim-Christian relations and providing a sympathetic treatment of Islam as a credible faith response path to God. Aimed at college and university students, and suitable parish discussion groups, the book provides a well researched, non-technical introduction aimed at opening up areas for mutual study and dialogue between Muslims and Christians. I especially liked the way Fr. Mohammed correlates the two spiritual traditions and shows Islamic influences on Francis of Assisi, John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, and Ignatuis of Loyola's Spiritual Exercises."-Thomas Michel, SJ, Secretary for Interreligious Dialogue, Society of Jesus"Muslim-Christian Relations introduces Christians to Islam, looks at the political, cultural, and economic obstacles between them, examines the theological issues and suggests a way forward in the interfaith dialogue that is faithful to the Bible and the Qur'an."A hopeful but realistic treatment of the thorny theological issues that divide as well as the broader areas of common concern and prospects for the future. . . . With discussion questions, suggested readings, a glossary, and directory of 'useful addresses,' this will make an ideal resource for study groups as well as college courses."-John Renard, Saint Louis University"Muslim-Christian Relations is not just another book on the growing shelf of titles on interfaith affairs. . . . [I]t is a book written with insight and compassion."-Abdulkader I. Tayob, University of Cape Town

Book Description
Why did the Christian Church, in the twentieth century, engage in dialogue with Islam? What has been the ecumenical experience? What is happening now? Such questions underlie Douglas Pratt’s Christian Engagement with Islam: Ecumenical Journeys since 1910. Pratt charts recent Christian (WCC and Vatican) engagement with Islam up to the early 21st century and examines the ecumenical initiatives of Africa’s PROCMURA, ‘Building Bridges’, and the German ‘Christian-Muslim Theological Forum’, together with responses to the 2007 ‘Common Word’ letter. Between them, Islam and Christianity represent over half the earth’s population. Their history of interaction, positive and negative, impacts widely still today. Contentious issues remain real enough, yet the story and ongoing reality of contemporary Christian-Muslim engagement is both exciting and encouraging.

Book Description
In the aftermath of 9/11 there has been much talk of a need to engage on a meaningful level with Islam, but where do we begin and what is the right approach? This book, available in paperback for the first time, looks at case studies from around the world in order to explore how Christian groups, sometimes as minorities and sometimes as the majority, engage with their Muslim neighbours in the search for a peaceful society. Some of the initiatives are politically motivated, others run by Church authorities and a number are community based, but all offer different approaches to a variety of situations that are encountered in Christian-Islamic dialogue. This is the first time that global strategies for dialogue have been published in one book by a series of leading academics. Whilst previous publications have concentrated on a particular geographical area, usually the Middle East or Europe, this book casts a wider net and considers issues such as the rise of radical Islam in post-Soviet states, Indonesian immigration in Australia and the spread of Islam amongst the Black South Africans after the fall of apartheid. Scholars and all those interested in politics, current affairs, religion or peace studies will find this book essential reading as a guidebook to the state of contemporary Christian-Islamic relations.

Book Description
What do Christian Churches say Islam is? What does the Church of England say Islam is? And, in the end, what space is there for genuine engagement with Islam? Richard Sudworth's unique study takes as its cue the question of political theology and brings this burgeoning area of debate into dialogue with Christian-Muslim relations and Anglican ecclesiology. The vexed subject of Christian-Muslim Relations provides the presenting arena to explore what political theologies enable the Church of England to engage with the diverse public square of the twenty-first century. Each chapter concludes with an ‘Anecdotes from the Field’ section, setting themes from the chapter in the context of Richard Sudworth’s own ministry within a Muslim majority parish.
