Peter D. Beaulieu examines the challenge posed by-and to-modernity
and historic Islam as they encounter one another. He compares the
Western separation of Church and state with the unitary Islamic
State, and explores the proposed cultural and societal principles
of the Second Vatican Council as potentially influencing long-term
events in both arenas. Beaulieu's research is comprehensive and
richly documented, yet offers an accessible triangular inquiry into
the mosque, the manger, and modernity. By restoring a place at the
table for Trinitarian Christianity alongside the engulfing
monotheism of Islam and the alternative skepticism of Western
rationalism, this inquiry broadens the pallet of inter-religious
and intercultural contact points. Beyond Secularism and Jihad?
provides balanced attention to the differences as well as the
similarities between Christianity, Islam, and modernity. An
emerging theme is natural law, which is universal and intrinsic to
all mankind and not confined to competing theologies. Neglected in
the West that it helped create, natural law might contribute to the
needed "grammar" for dialogue between the citizens in the West and
the followers of Islam.
