Is it possible for Christians and Muslims to engage in
meaningful dialogue, in genuine and truthful debate? Do we dare to
put our faith on trial? To listen to each other in the best
possible way, and to give the reason for the hope that we have,
with gentleness and respect, as we are commanded?
The two faiths hold much in common, tracing their roots back to a
common ancestor. And yet they have always held to something of a
ghetto mentality. Mutual ignorance is the price paid for
trouble-free co-existence, and for some, perhaps, the price for
survival. Prejudice and misunderstanding leads to confrontational
debate, where one side tries to ridicule, attack and defeat the
other. Political correctness and tolerance simply leads to
superficial agreement.
Chawkat Moucarry believes that there is a better way. Ever since he
surprised the religious Education teacher by asking if he could
attend the Islamic class at high school, he has been wholeheartedly
committed to genuine Christian Muslim dialogue. His prayer is that
this book will help us to gain a better understanding of each
other's faith, as well as our own, and above all a better
understanding of the founder of that faith.
