Descrizione dell'opera
What every Catholic needs to know about Islam does not try nor aspire to describe Islam comprehensively, but only to give some basic guidance about how it is to be understood both from Muslim and Christian perspectives. This requires a theological assessment, something necessary but often overlooked. The flashpoints between the two will be highlighted so as to show what each considers nonnegotiable. Such insights are needed to achieve mutual understanding in a successful and enduring dialogue.
