Book Description
This book is an intercultural study of Christian-Muslim relationship in Nigeria, spanning the pre-and post-Independence eras.It seeks, against the backdrop of the persistent crisis and conflicts; to explore avenues for dialogue and harmonious interaction between adherents of the two most patronized (albeit non-indigenous) religions in Nigeria - Christianity and Islam. The author examines the historical backgrounds of the country's ethnographic and sociopolitical configuration, the origin, nature, and impact of each religion, the positive as well as negative dimensions of the relations between Muslims and Christians under various epochs of Nigeria's political life. The book concludes with theological overview and prescriptive advocacy on the pathway to inter-religious peace and harmony in Nigeria.

Book Description
Religion as a powerful impulse in human existence plays a paradoxical role in society as it both contributes significantly in shaping the spiritual, socio-political and economic lives of millions of people and also acts as a source of conflict. The sad experience of interreligious conflict in Northern Nigeria challenges the claim of Islam and Christianity to be religions of peace. However, understood as closely intertwined with culture and custom of a people, religion can be central in the establishment of peace and conflict resolution in and between communities. This text using the model of dialogue (Nostra Aetate) explores and presents the socio-political and theological resources available in Northern Nigeria (the locality) for a consistent peace building process.

Book Description
The author examines the establishment of both religions in the two countries, their relations with the colonial powers, the effect of religion on national independence movements, and the effect of religious questions on ethnicity in mixed communities, setting these issues against the background of the rise of Islamic revivalism and the connections between northern Nigeria and Middle Eastern Islamic states.

Book Description
For more than three decades, Nigeria's Muslim and Christian relations have been marked by both amicable and violent encounters. More than 100,000 individuals have perished in increasingly volatile and frequent interreligious riots. Are these bloody atrocities primarily the result of economic or political factors - as government officials insist - or are they rooted in the unique expressions of these two religions? Violence in God's Name explores the reasons for and ramifications of Nigeria's multi-faith violence and how these stress fractures might be effectively addressed. Dr. van Gorder does not hide behind theological assertions or ask Christians and Muslims to compromise their faith or evangelistic convictions. He provides an analytical evaluation of past and present tensions between Nigeria's Muslims and Christians. The book culminates into practical directions for realizable multi-faith partnerships for social justice. "Violence in God's Name benefits both from its deep historical perspective, and from the author's thorough knowledge of the situation. This is a rich and well-informed account, which tells us much about the current state of both Christianity and Islam. " Philip Jenkins, Pennsylvania State University "Van Gorder has done an excellent job in ... putting the current spate of violence in Nigeria in a nuanced historical context..." David T. Ngong, PhD, Stillman College "Violence in God's Name provides a balanced perspective that is urgently needed at a point when Nigeria's huge potential for African leadership is threatened by unresolved religious conflict. In this book Dr. van Gorder gives us the background, the current situation and points to possible solutions." Dr. Gary Maxey, President West African Theological Seminary "A. Christian van Gorder's insightful perspectives ... offers a concrete pathway forward for genuine multi-faith dialogue that holds both Muslims and Christians accountable. It is a must read for religious and political leaders of all persuasions in Nigeria." Reverend Father Anthony Odiong, Director St. Peter's Catholic Center, Baylor University Dr. A. Christian van Gorder is Assistant Professor of World Religion at Baylor University. Dr. van Gorder has travelled for several decades throughout Africa and around the world intent upon learning more about Muslim and Christian interactions. He is the author of seven books on multicultural and multifaith dynamics. www.adponline.info

Book Description
This timely collection offers new perspectives on Muslim-Christian encounters in Africa. Working against political and scholarly traditions that keep Muslims and Christians apart, the essays in this multidisciplinary volume locate African Muslims and Christians within a common analytical frame. In a series of historical and ethnographic case studies from across the African continent, the authors consider the multiple ways Muslims and Christians have encountered each other, borrowed or appropriated from one another, and sometimes also clashed. Contributors recast assumptions about the making and transgressing of religious boundaries, Christian-Muslim relations, and conversion. This engaging collection is a long overdue attempt to grapple with the multi-faceted and changing encounters of Muslims and Christians in Africa.
