Description: Paul-Gordon Chandler presents fresh thinking in the area of Christian-Muslim relations, showing how Christ--whom Islam reveres as a Prophet and Christianity worships as the divine Messiah--can close the gap between the two religions. He illustrates his perspective with examples from the life of Syrian novelist Mazhar Mallouhi, who seeks to bridge the chasm of misunderstanding between Muslims and Christians through his novels.
Review Quotes: Events of recent years have exacerbated mutual suspicion, fear and misunderstanding between Christians and Muslims. Yet Jesus Christ set in motion a unity that knows no boundaries; he broke all barriers. We must think beyond the present walls of the church to move forward. The issues dealt with in this timely book demonstrate God's divine embrace, providing a bridge in the gap.--Archbishop Emeritus Desmond M. Tutu
