"Humanity: Texts and Contexts" is a record of the 2007 Singapore
"Building Bridges" seminar, an annual dialogue between Muslim and
Christian scholars cosponsored by Georgetown University and the
Archbishop of Canterbury. This volume explores three central
questions: What does it mean to be human? What is the significance
of the diversity that is evident among human beings? And what are
the challenges that humans face living within the natural
world?
A distinguished group of scholars focuses on the theological
responses to each of these questions, drawing on the wealth of
material found in both Christian and Islamic scriptures. Part one
lays out the three issues of human identity, difference, and
guardianship. Part two explores scriptural texts side by side,
pairing Christian and Islamic scholars who examine such themes as
human dignity, human alienation, human destiny, humanity and
gender, humanity and diversity, and humanity and the environment.
In addition to contributions from an international cast of
outstanding scholars, the book includes an afterword by Archbishop
Rowan Williams.
