Reviews

This collection of essays judiciously illuminates the things that make for peace in the texts of Islam and Christianity in ways that preserve the integrity of both traditions while highlighting points of theological and practical convergence. Simply stated, this is an excellent provocation and there is much to learn from the humble conviction on display here.--Paul Martens, Baylor University
