Yet Muslims represent approximately one third of the world's population. Improved understanding between Christians and Muslims is therefore crucial and a prerequisite for universal peace and justice. This book aims to investigate Islam's place in the world, Muslim aspirations vis-a-vis non-Muslims and the realities of how Muslims are perceived and how they perceive others. Each chapter analyses accessible texts from central thinkers and commentators, broadly split into two camps: confrontational or conciliatory. Christian-Muslim relations are set in the wider context of civilizational, geo-political and economic interaction between the Muslim world and the historically Christian West.","brand":"Continuum","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45088110674071,"sku":"9780826487834","price":6098.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780826487834.webp?v=1767267172","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/understanding-christian-muslim-relations-past-and-present-9780826487834","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
