Conviction and Conflict: Islam, Christianity and World Order

Autor Michael Nazir-Ali
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 feb 2006
Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali studied theology at Cambridge, going on to become only the second non-white bishop in England and the first diocesan bishop. He is a consultant to the Prime Minister on Muslim affairs. Nazir-Ali sets out fundamental guidelines on the role of religion in society and its relationship to nationalism, ideology and political institutions, and examines Christian-Muslim dialogue with particular relationship to the rise of Arab, Indian and Turkish nationalism. Of particular concern is the relationship of religion to law and the justifiability of armed conflict.

Recenzii

Anglican Bishop Nazir-Ali, born of Christian and Islamic parentage, speaks with integrity to the issue of social justice, politics, and the interplay of religious conviction born of a certain multiculturalism in the modern experience. This book is erudite and thoughtful, intellectually and politically/socially well-informed and assumes the same of its audience. Recommended for modern religion and international relations collections.
[T]his book is a worthwhile guide for any Christian who is grappling with contemporary developments in the world from a religious perspective.
With his background in Pakistan and close knowledge of both Islam and Christian theology, Nazir-Ali is well placed to write on the contribution religion is making to conflict in the world.
This is a fine work by a critical friend of Muslims.
