Description

Why did the Christian Church, within the twentieth century, engage in dialogue with Islam? What has been the ecumenical revel in? What is going on now? Such questions underlie Douglas Pratt’s Christian Engagement with Islam: Ecumenical Journeys since 1910. Pratt charts up to date Christian (WCC and Vatican) engagement with Islam as much as the early 21st century and examines the ecumenical initiatives of Africa’s PROCMURA, ‘Building Bridges’, and the German ‘Christian-Muslim Theological Forum’, along with responses to the 2007 ‘Not unusual Word’ letter. Between them, Islam and Christianity represent over half the earth’s population. Their history of interaction, positive and negative, impacts widely still these days. Contentious issues remain real enough, yet the tale and ongoing reality of recent Christian-Muslim engagement is both exciting and encouraging.
