| Σύνοψη: | Introduction. My personal journey -- Can Christians appreciate the prophet Muhammad as a genuine messenger from God or is this theological treason? -- How might Christians respond to the Muslim claim that Jesus was a prophet and is not God incarnate? -- Can Christians with integrity regard the Qur'an as a word from God? -- Is there any possibility of rapprochement on the issue of whether Jesus died on the cross? -- The state of official church-related Christian-Muslim dialogue -- Suggestions on how Christians can challenge negative tropes about Muslims and cooperate in peace and justice advocacy, social and community development -- Conclusion. Clinton Bennett reflects on four decades of engagement with Muslims and Christian-Muslim relations as a missionary, scholar, and interfaith activist. Set in the context of his personal story, chapters discuss a series of critical questions to the Christian-Muslim relationship reprising earlier wriing. Bennett asks: can Christians appreciate the prophet Muhammad as a genuine messenger from God or is this theological treason? How might Christians respond to the Muslim claim that Jesus was a prophet and is not Bod incarnate: Can Christians with integrity regard the Qur'an as a word from God, and is there any possibility of rapprochement on the issue of whether Jesus died on the cross? Focusing on the United States, Bennett also describes church-sponsored Christian-Muslim initiatives and offers suggestions on how Christians can rethink their ideas about Muslims and cooperate with them in peace and justice advocacy, and social and community development. Exploring some of the causes of Islamophobia, Bennett set out to challenge Christians to keep the commandment not to bear false witness against their Muslim neighbors |
