Understanding and Discussion: Approaches to Muslim-Christian Dialogue

By AA Roest Crollius

This 20th volume of the series Inculturation celebrates its 15th anniversary. It treats of the challenge of interreligious dialogue, especially with Muslims. The study is made up of four articles. The first, by the then General of the Society of Jesus, Fr. P.-H. Kolvenbach is the fruit of an experience of life and a reflection matured in the Near East and further developed in Rome. The second article, by Prof. Edmond Farahian S. J., represents the inaugural lecture of the New Chair of Interreligious Dialogue at the Gregorian University. The third is a study by Prof Farahian and Prof. Christiaan van Nispen tot Sevenaer, S.J., which treats of biblical-theological questions connected with the religious encounter between Muslims and Christians. The issue concludes with a text written by Prof. Arij A. Roest Crollius, S. J. which treats in a more general way of interreligious dialogue, underlining the conditions of an encounter in truth.
