Opis

This book analyses contemporary Christian-Muslim relations in the traditional lands of Orthodoxy and Islam. In particular, it examines the development of Eastern Orthodox ecclesiological thinking on Muslim-Christian relations and religious minorities in Greece and Turkey. It suggests ways of overcoming the difficulties that Muslim and Christian communities are still facing with the Turkish and Greek States. It proposes that the positive aspects of the coexistence between Muslims and Christians in Western Thrace and Istanbul might constitute an original model that should be adopted in other countries where challenges and obstacles between Muslim and Christian communities still persist.
