Contemporary Christian-Muslim Dialogue
This book introduces and examines the work of two significant 21st century Christian – Muslim dialogue initiatives – "Building Bridges" and the "Christian–Muslim Theological Forum" – and gives close attention to five theological themes that have been addressed in common by them. An overview and analysis, including inception, development, outputs and significance, together with discussion of the select themes – community, scripture, prophecy, prayer and ethics – allows for an in-depth examination of significant contemporary Muslim and Christian scholarship on issues important to both faith communities. The result is a challenging encounter to, arguably, a widespread default presumption of irredeemable mutual hostility and inevitable mutual rejection with instances of violent extremism as a consequence. Demonstrating the reality that deep interreligious engagement is possible between the two faiths today, this book should appeal to a wide readership, including upper undergraduate and graduate teaching as well as professionals and practitioners in the field of Christian-Muslim relations.

Das Glaubensleben in und mit der Gemeinschaft ist im Christentum wie im Islam ein Grundbestandteil religiöser Praxis. Zur Kirche als theologisch begründeter Institution gibt es im Islam keine unmittelbare Entsprechung. Die Idee der Umma steht für die weltweite Gemeinschaft der Muslime. Trotz aller Unterschiede haben die islamische und die christliche Glaubensgemeinschaft die Funktionen von Zeugnis, Erinnerung und Tradierung gemeinsam. Wie verhalten sie sich angesichts der Spannung von Einheitsideal und empirischer Vielfalt? Wie stellen sie sich zum Volk Israel, wie zur Politik und zum Verfassungsstaat?
Christian Engagement with Islam
Why did the Christian Church, in the twentieth century, engage in dialogue with Islam? What has been the ecumenical experience? What is happening now? Such questions underlie Douglas Pratt’s Christian Engagement with Islam: Ecumenical Journeys since 1910. Pratt charts recent Christian (WCC and Vatican) engagement with Islam up to the early 21st century and examines the ecumenical initiatives of Africa’s PROCMURA, ‘Building Bridges’, and the German ‘Christian-Muslim Theological Forum’, together with responses to the 2007 ‘Common Word’ letter. Between them, Islam and Christianity represent over half the earth’s population. Their history of interaction, positive and negative, impacts widely still today. Contentious issues remain real enough, yet the story and ongoing reality of contemporary Christian-Muslim engagement is both exciting and encouraging.
