Overview

In an age of increased globalization, Islam has found itself in crisis. Extremism, secularization, and ever-increasing encounters with the Christian gospel have raised fundamental questions about the nature of Islam, its development and the future of its relationship with the West.

Islam on Trial addresses these questions while avoiding the pitfalls of either hostility or naivety. As an Arab Christian from the Middle East, Dr. Chawkat Moucarry has spent his life engaging with Islam both personally and academically. In this book, he provides non-Muslims with a foundation for understanding Muslim faith and practice, while offering insight into the complex relationship between Islam, culture, and politics. The author addresses key controversial theological issues and highlights shared common ground between Christianity and Islam. He challenges members of both religions to engage in genuine dialogue, built on mutual understanding and respect, and to work together for the common good of their societies.

Chawkat’s voice in the field of Muslim-Christian relations is more needed today than ever. He achieves the rare balance of a scholarly pursuit of truth and a Christ-like heart of empathy. This book can take us further down the road of incarnational living.

--Michael Kuhn, PhD. International Theological Education Network (ITEN)

This is a mature reflection, based on long experience of inter-faith dialogue, on how to build bridges between Christians and Muslims in the West. Hopefully, this book will educate Christians and Muslims alike, addressing seriously the very real challenges that all of us share while also respecting the significant differences among us.

--Vinoth Ramachandra, PhD. IFES Secretary for Dialogue & Social Engagement

Moucarry is a believing Christian, a seeker of peace between individuals and communities, and deeply concerned by violence and fanaticism – he has been personally affected by the terrible civil wars in his region and country. He seeks to shed light on what brings together, and what differentiates, Christianity and Islam.

--Mohammad Ali Amir-Moezzi, PhD. From the Foreword
