AB This essay explores the understanding of the Holy Spirit in Islam and his role in missio Dei from a Christian missiological perspective, and then argues for pneumatological considerations that Jesus’s followers can employ to promote Christian-Muslim peacebuilding engagement. It asserts that the task of reconciling all things belongs primarily to the domain of missio Dei and, consequently, that the Holy Spirit is the One who initiates and creates occasions and circumstances that birth enduring, holistic, and true peace. Armed with such understanding, peacebuilding enthusiasts who follow Jesus can engage in christo-pneumatological peacebuilding that entails the practice of faithful presence—dwelling with the “other” as the temple of the Holy Spirit, who glorifies the Son and the Father through the human participant in the missio Dei.
