Description

This volume presents in "empirical" fashion the development of the entrance of Islam into dialogue. "Dialogue" is defined as the approach to encounters with other religions and ideologies not primarily in the teaching mode - as holding alone the secret of life - but primarily in the learning mode - seeking to find more of the secret of the meaning of life. Gathered here are almost all the articles dealing with Islam that appeared in the Journal of Ecumenical Studies or books spun off it from over the past generation, tracing Islam's slow, painful, and at times quite reluctant move to dialogue.
