Jacques Waardenburg writes about relations between Muslims and
adherents of other religions. After illuminating various aspects of
Islam from an outside point of view in his volume "Islam"
(published in 2002 by de Gruyter) his second volume changes the
perspective: The author shows how Muslims perceived non-Muslims -
particularly Christianity and "the West," but also Judaism and
Asian religions - in many centuries of religious dialogue and
tensions. The main focus is on Muslim minorities in Western
countries and on religious dialogues of which he provides
first-hand knowledge through his participation in several important
dialogue meetings. After 50 years of research and personal
involvement, Waardenburg aims at a mutual understanding and
reconciliation of Islam and other religions, particularly
Christianity, both on an international level as well as on a more
local level where "old" and "new," Christian and Muslim Europeans
live together.
