Beschreibung

From Miroslav Volf, one of the world's foremost Christian theologians—and co-teacher, along with Tony Blair, of a groundbreaking Yale University course on faith and globalization—comes Allah, a timely and provocative argument for a new pluralism between Muslims and Christians. In a penetrating exploration of every side of the issue, from New York Times headlines on terrorism to passages in the Koran and excerpts from the Gospels, Volf makes an unprecedented argument for effecting a unified understanding between Islam and Christianity. In the tradition of Seyyed Hossein Nasr’s Islam in the Modern World, Volf’s Allah is essential reading for students of the evolving political science of the twenty-first century.

Can two faiths, so often in conflict, find common ground in the God they both worship?

  • Interfaith Dialogue: A bold Christian response to the question, "Do Muslims and Christians worship the same God?" Volf argues compellingly that they do, building a theological bridge for a new era of understanding.
  • Political Theology: An exploration of how shared convictions about God can provide a robust moral framework for peace, pluralism, and the common good in a globalized world.
  • The Trinity and Divine Love: A deep dive into critical Christian doctrines, arguing that what the Qur’an denies about the Trinity is what orthodox Christians should also deny.
  • Comparative Religion: Volf examines passages from the Qur’an and the Gospels, engaging with centuries of theological disputes to find a way forward for Christian-Muslim relations.
