Reviews
'Dr Clinton Bennett's Understanding Christian-Muslim Relations is a scholarly contribution to an important issue in our times...This study is useful for anyone interested in the wider concerns of conciliation and dialogue in relations between Muslims and Christians.' Imam Dr Abduljalil Sajid, Imam Brighton Islamic Mission and Chairman of Muslim Council for Religious and Racial Harmony UK
Dr Clinton Bennett's Understanding Christian-Muslim Relations is a scholarly contribution to an important issue in our times. Dr Bennett tells us the story of Christian-Muslim relations with a view to improve our understanding of this area, and analyses the issues involved - past and present. This study is useful for anyone interested in the wider concerns of conciliation and dialogue in relations between Muslims and Christians. -- Imam Dr Abduljalil Sajid, Imam Brighton Islamic Mission and Chairman of Muslim Council for Religious and Racial Harmony UK mention in Bookseller Buyers Guide, 1 January 2008 This book will undoubtedly repay careful reading and would make a most useful foundation text for a course in the history of Christian-Muslim relations. * Islam and Christian-Mulslim Relations, Vol. 20, April 2009 * Bennett has written a book that is detailed, informative, balanced and touches on both the politically correct and incorrect. There is a wide variety of people who will find this a helpful book. I commend it to everyone wanting to learn more about both Christianity and Islam. I also want to commend it to everyone wanting a deeper understanding of the relationship and developing dialogue between the two. * Theological Book Review, Vol. 21, 2009 * Key conclusions are that early arguments set much of the agenda up to modern times, and that the key issues concern the nature of Jesus and Muhammad, the reliability of the scriptures, the reality of the Crucifixion, and the unity of God. Bennett concludes by articulating his own support for conciliation. Summing up: Recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and above; general readers. -- P.S. Spalding * CHOICE, October 2008 *
