| Summary: | Muslim-Christian dialogue is essential for world peace. Members of Islamic and Christian faiths comprise over half the world's population. Only through dialogue can these two faith communities deconstruct the idea that the present historical moment is witnessing a "clash of civilizations". In our contemporary pluralistic world, dialogue can be extremely challenging. Many people labor under the misconception that respect for other religious beliefs require the rejection of one's own. As a way to meet this challenge, this paper will consider two concepts that enlist theological anthropology in recognition of religious differences: the Catholic theologian Karl Rahner's concept of the Vorgriff and the Muslim theologian Ismail Raji al-Faruqi's interpretation of the fitrah. Believing that every human being is metaphysically open to God's revelation, these two theologians also accept the faith of every human being as genuine. |
