Muslim-Christian Relations: Past, Present, Future (Faith Meets Faith)

Summary: Thoughtful Summary of the Challenges
Review: Fr. Ovey Mohammed (unusual name for a Jesuit, eh?) does an excellent and concise job of painting the past and present history of the geographical and theological issues and conflicts that continue to separate Christianity from Islam. You do not have to agree with everything he writes -- but you do have to think seriously about it. Though written by a Catholic, and judged by me, a Protestant, it presents the information in as neutral a light as possible -- I would be interested to have a Muslim opinion on it as a cross check. He clearly has the desire to keep communication and cooperation open between Christianity and Islam. As a North American Protestant living in a multicultural but majority liberal-Muslim nation overseas, this book has given me just what I wanted - food for thought, and sources for further study, should I need them. This would be an ideal text for a Sunday School or Fellowship Class, as well as for self study.
