Description
This book provides a valuable contribution to understanding the complexities within a religiously diverse Western society. Using a multidisciplinary approach, this book provides an intimate glimpse into the beliefs, attitudes and experiences of Australian Christians and Muslims towards each other. As such, it highlights the factors that inhibit and/or motivate interfaith engagement. Drawing on research from such diverse fields as social psychology, religious teachings and historical studies, it provides context to help readers to understand the fears, aspirations and social factors within this multicultural setting. As such this book would appeal to students, academics, policy makers, interfaith practitioners and social commentators.
Reviews / Votes
'Religions serve as dual-edged tools: fostering inner peace and societal harmony yet also fueling conflicts. Interfaith dialogue emerges as a potent antidote. The author's exploration is not mere theory; it is grounded in empirical evidence and years of field experience. This book unveils a fresh scholarly model, one that transcends traditional boundaries. Despite theological divergences, Christian-Muslim dialogue thrives, contributing to social cohesion in an ever-evolving world.'Salih YucelAssociate Professor, Centre for Islamic Studies and Civilisation, Charles Sturt University, AustraliaMore details
