Anna Bonta Moreland's Muhammad Reconsidered makes a significant contribution to Catholic theology of Islam and interreligious dialogue between Muslims and Christians. Her style is lucid, learned, and accessible. She opens new doors. This book will be of interest to Christian and Muslim scholars and the lay public. -Gavin D'Costa, University of Bristol Due to its focus both on issues directly related to dialogue as it has developed over the last quarter century or so and on the historiography of Christian engagement with Islamic theology, Anna Bonta Moreland's Muhammad Reconsidered can be one of the foundational texts in the discipline. -Zeki Saritoprak, author of Islam's Jesus Anna Moreland's illuminating and powerfully argued book is essential reading for anyone concerned about how Catholic Christians should engage with their Muslim neighbors. It provides an insightful and badly needed account of how, according to Aquinas, God communicates through prophetic utterances and acts. This is theology at its best. -Alasdair MacIntyre, author of After Virtue and Dependent Rational Animals Moreland begins this book by taking issue with Samuel Huntington's well-known essay/book The Clash of Civilizations (1993/1996). Huntington argued that there was a fundamental incompatibility between Islamic cultures and Western cultures influenced by Christianity. Moreland argues, contra Huntington, that Christians and Muslims can dialogue about Mohammed from a Christian perspective on Islamic prophecy. -Choice

This is theology at its best. --Alasdair MacIntyre, author of After Virtue and Dependent Rational Animals While Christian-Muslim dialogue meetings and events have been going on for some time in both religious and academic spaces, as an academic discipline with texts and boundaries it is still very new.
