Award-winning scholar John Renard illuminates the similarities as well as the differences between Islam and Christianity through a clear exploration of four major dimensions-historical, creedal, institutional, and ethical and spiritual. Throughout, the book features comparisons between concrete elements such as creedal statements, prayer texts, and writings from major theologians and mystics. It also includes a glossary of technical theological terms. For western readers in particular, this balanced, authoritative work overturns some common stereotypes about Islam, especially those that have emerged in the decade since September 11, 2001.Theological themes in comparative perspectiveChristianity and other religionsIslamIslamDoctrinesIslamRelationsChristianityTheology, Doctrinalanthropology.christianity.christians.comparative perspective.comparative religion.creedal statements.ethical distinctions.faith.historical perspective.historical religions.institutional religions.islam.muslims.mystics.prayer texts.public perceptions.religious creeds.religious scholars.religious traditions.religious writings.similarities and differences.spirituality and faith.technical terminology.theologians.theological perspective.theology.western perspective.western readers.world religions.Christianity and other religionsIslam.IslamDoctrines.IslamRelationsChristianity.Theology, Doctrinal.297.2/83Renard John1944-1481777MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786706903321Islam and Christianity3826706UNINA
