Routledge Reader In Christianmuslim Relations

By Mona Siddiqui

Book Description

This comprehensive reader opens a window into one of today's most significant spiritual conversations: the ongoing dialogue between Christianity and Islam. Editor Mona Siddiqui brings together essential voices from both faith traditions, creating a resource that illuminates how Muslim and Christian scholars have engaged with each other's beliefs across centuries.

The collection explores the theological heart of interfaith relations, examining how these two major world religions have approached fundamental questions about divine revelation, prophetic tradition, and sacred scripture. Readers will encounter diverse scholarly perspectives on the complex relationships between Jesus and Muhammad, the Bible and the Qur'an, and differing conceptions of God within both traditions.

Rather than presenting a single viewpoint, this reader embraces the full spectrum of Christian-Muslim engagement, from critical examination to appreciative dialogue. The volume includes primary source materials that reveal how religious thinkers have grappled with questions of truth, revelation, and spiritual authority across faith boundaries.

For those seeking to understand the dynamics of interreligious dialogue, this collection offers valuable insights into how theological conversation can bridge differences while honoring distinct traditions. The book serves both as an academic reference and a practical guide for anyone interested in the evolving relationship between these two influential faith communities.

Through careful scholarship and thoughtful curation, this reader demonstrates how interfaith understanding can deepen rather than diminish one's own spiritual journey.
