| Summary: | Islam and Christianity have had a mixed relationship over the centuries. Often these two traditions have taken an exclusivist position portraying the other in negative terms. Muslims and Christians have often lived in tension with each other over many issues such as mission and dawā, political and religious oppression as well as mutual vilification. Increasingly in the last few decades, there have been calls for dialogue from both traditions to be undertaken at the level of scripture, religious leadership and socio‐cultural traditions. Christian and Muslim communities have begun to come together in the spirit of pluralism and mutual recognition. It is this spirit that must guide each of us to understand the importance of a new way of reading the sacred texts, one which is cognizant of and responsive to the pluralistic realities of the twenty‐first century. |
