About this ebook
This book is meant to provide a sympathetic and critical mutual conversation between Muslims and Christians concerning their deepest and most formative beliefs and doctrines. Written from a Christian perspective, this comparative theological exercise will put Christian doctrines in a dialogue with Muslim ones. What makes this comparative conversation meaningful and significant is that basically all core Christian beliefs from revelation to God, to creation and humanity, to Jesus and S/spirit, to salvation (submission), to community, and to the “end” have a clearly defined corresponding Muslim formulation. Even when at times quite radically different, each of these two sister faiths’ “theologies” has a common basis in the Jewish Torah and (to a lesser extent) in the Christian New Testament.
