Sommario/riassunto |
|
Christians of all denominations - and non-Christians - look to Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali as an authority on the role of religion in conflict and peace-making. Here, he gets to the roots of such conflict. Michael Nazir-Ali comes from a family background which is both Christian and Muslim. He is thus well qualified to tackle the subject of this new book |
