Overview

From the Christian perspective, it seems that there is little dispute over the necessity of dialogue between Christianity and Islam, the world's two largest religions.However, do Christianity and Islam share similar conceptions as to what constitutes the common good and justice that could render such dialogue fruitful? The urge to answer in the positive is so great as to make these questions seem almost rhetorical. However, they are not. They require careful examination in order not to lose sight of essential principles. It is one thing - and it is a very big thing - to set aside or overcome historical grudges and ignorance; it is another to ascertain if the profoundly different anthropologies in Christianity and Islam meet in a common notion of a human being who possesses inalienable rights. In Christian anthropology, man is created in God's image and called to share God's life. Both of these notions are anathema to Islam, which considers them blasphemous.
