Opis

The goal of this book is to provide a survey and analysis of Christian-Muslim dialogue during four centuries, highlighting those voices of ecumenical tone which have more often used the Qur’an for drawing the two faiths together rather than pushing them apart, and amplifying the voice of the Qur’an itself.
