Theologians have had to increasingly engage with beliefs and
practises outside of their own traditions. The resultant "theology
of religions" is, however, often formulated in isolation from the
religions they are describing. This book provides a comparison of
the development of theology of religions in Western Christianity
and its application in anIslamic context. It also shows the
parallels between some specific forms of theology of religions,
i.e. exclusivism, inclusivism or pluralism, in both Islamic and
Christian traditions. The arguments of Christian and Muslim
theologians, including the specific contributions of Rowan Williams
and Jerusha Lamptey, are examined in order to reveal the
interconnections and contradictions of their pluralist, exclusivist
and inclusivist approaches. This provides a rounded picture of
Christian-Muslim understanding of religious others and prepares the
ground for a stronger and more sophisticated Islamic theology of
religions. This is vital reading for those studying theology of
religions, comparative theology and interfaith relations.
