Produktbeschreibung

Abbot Timothy Wright proposes sowing a small seed from which might grow a greater respect between the worlds two largest religions, Christianity and Islam. Indeed, he believes that the seed has been already planted. Christians give unique value to their revealed Scriptures as the Word of God. Muslims speak of the Quran as God speaking to them. In No Peace without Prayer, Wright presents the case for developing this faith in the Word of God to establish groups of Christians and Muslims dedicated to sharing their respective Divine Word in ways that enhance the other. This is not a tussle for converts but a way into greater mutual understandingunder the eye of the God who communicates this Wordto create a new shared memory. Such is a work of prayer, a prayer that could lead to greater peace. The key word, says Wright, is partnership, arising from their shared belief in the One God, creator of the universe, communicating with the human world and merciful to the repentant.
