"""""This book represents the way forward in interreligious dialogue. Its significance can be captured in two quotations. Winkler sums up Pannenberg's estimation of its importance as follows: '. . . interreligious dialogue is not merely missional, it is theologically essential for a truer and more comprehensive understanding of God's character and plans.' Muslim scholar Omid Safi indicates how dialogue engages significant interests: 'I don't want to """"tolerate"""" my fellow human beings but rather to engage them at the deepest level of what makes us human, through both our phenomenal commonality and our dazzling cultural differences.'"""" --Nancey Murphy Professor of Christian Philosophy Fuller Theological Seminary """"One of the greatest challenges of our day is how committed Muslims and Christians can live together harmoniously with increased contact through migration and burgeoning Muslim birth rates while conflicts are exacerbated by sensationalist media coverage of terrorism and wars. Though recognizing the problems, Lewis Winkler has discerned enough harmony in the views of a significant thinker from each community to suggest a potential bridge for cordial interaction for the rest of us over the troubled political and religious waters that engulf the globe we share."""" --J. Dudley Woodberry Dean Emeritus and Senior Professor of Islamic Studies Fuller Theological Seminary"
