This collection of essays assesses various dimensions of dialogue
between Islam and other religions, especially Christianity. This
book celebrates the work of Professor Mahmoud Ayoub and reflects
the themes that are central in his scholarship spanned over the
last three decades and which are more relevant than ever at the
inauguration of the twenty-first century. The themes reflected are
the Qur'an and hadith, theology and philosophy, and Islam's
interaction with other religions. Ayoub needs no introduction to
those familiar with and engaged in inter-religious dialogue in
general and Muslim-Christian-Jewish dialogue in particular. He is a
well-known Muslim scholar and historian of religion, currently
director of the Islamic studies program in the department of
religion at Temple University in Philadelphia. His broad area of
interest is of course Islamic studies but he has also exerted
considerable scholarly efforts in comparative religion. As
evidenced from Dr. Ayoub's works, he moves with ease between
philosophy and mysticism, scripture and tradition and between Islam
and other religions. As a Muslim, Ayoub has provided a model of
being religious which combines openness to others without
compromising rigorous historical scholarship. Contributors to this
volume include some of his close friends and colleagues, as well as
former students both Muslim and Christian. This book was previously
published as a special issue of Islam and Christian-Muslim
Relations.
