Offering an analysis of Christian-Muslim dialogue across four
centuries, this book highlights those voices of ecumenical tone
which have more often used the Qur'an for drawing the two faiths
together rather than pushing them apart, and amplifies the voice of
the Qur'an itself. Finding that there is tremendous ecumenical
ground between Christianity and Islam in the voices of their own
scholars, this book ranges from a period of declining ecumenism
during the first three centuries of Islam, to a period of resurging
ecumenism during the most recent century until now. Among the
ecumenical voices in the Christian-Muslim dialogue, this book
points out that the Qur'an itself is possibly the strongest of
those voices. These findings are cause for, and evidence of, hope
for the Christian-Muslim relationship: that although agreement may
never be reached, dialogue has led at times to very real mutual
understanding and appreciation of the religious other. Providing a
tool for those pursuing understanding and mutual appreciation
between the Islamic and Christian faiths, this book will be of
interest to scholars and students of Islam, the Qur'an and the
history of Christian-Muslim relations.
