Islam in a World of Diverse Faiths » (REV)

Today the Islamic faith has exploded on the contemporary scene. The rise of Islamic fundamentalism, the revolution in Iran, hostilities in the Middle East, the Salman Rushdie affair, and the war against Iraq have all highlighted the presence of the Islamic faith and its millions of adherents around the globe. In this illuminating volume distinguished Muslim, Christian and Jewish writers explore the nature of the Islamic religion and its impact on a pluralistic society. In diverse ways they present a new and challenging vision of dialogue between the three monotheistic faiths in the modern world.
