Jacques, a flamboyant scientist, is in a tragic a traffic accident.
His wife Francine cannot accept that he is dead until they find his
body. As the police find nothing, she decides to do her own
investigation. Whilst rooting through Jacques' papers at the
university, she discovers that her husband was in the middle of
inventing an innovative way of containing nuclear fusion. Is the
idea harebrained or brilliant? Whatever the answer, it soon becomes
clear that a sinister company sees Jacques' ideas as a threat.
These people are ruthless enough to stop anyone continuing his
work. Jacques' closest colleagues and friends band together to help
Francine get to the truth. As the story unfolds, they are drawn
deeper into a scientific puzzle that increases their determination
to stop the malignant organisation in its tracks.
Christian-Muslim dialogue grows increasingly important, but little
is known about individual Muslim dialogical thinkers. Born in
Palestine in 1921, Ismail al-Faruqi was a leading figure in the
development of conversation and debate across faiths in North
America in the second half of the twentieth century, and was
actively engaged in inter-faith study and dialogue. Al-Faruqi
founded the Islamic Studies programme at Temple University,
Pennsylvania where several distinguished Muslim intellectuals have
taught, such as Seyyid Hossein Nasr, Mahmoud Ayoub and Hasan
Hanafi. Along with Kenneth Cragg and Wilfred Cantwell Smith,
al-Faruqi was an active participant in Muslim-Christian dialogues
in the 1970s and the 1980s. Charles Fletcher here presents the
first study dedicated to Ismail al-Faruqi's theory and practice of
interfaith dialogue. Analysing al-Faruqi's sometimes provocative
ideas on the comparative study of religion, dialogue and practical
engagement, the author provides an illuminating study of the life
and thought of this important scholar. Tracing the development of
al-Faruqi's ideas and practice of inter-faith dialogue, Fletcher
shows how Muslim intellectuals engaged in such attempts viewed
their role as representatives of the worldwide Muslim community.
With perceptive insights into the history of contemporary
Muslim-Christian dialogue, this book will be invaluable for all
those interested in inter-faith relations, comparative religious
studies, North American Muslims and Islamic studies.
