How does the Islamic tradition create space for, and resist, constructive inter-religious dialogue?

In this book, Adis Duderija considers the conditions necessary for inter-religious dialogue, comparative theological learning, and theological growth within an Islamic context. Applying the writings of Catherine Cornille, Duderija presents fresh discussions of the Qur'an, hadith, and orthodox Islamic doctrines (takfir, tashabbuh bi-l-kuffar, bid‘a, and al wala’ wal bara’) from the perspective of comparative theology. Primarily focusing on Islamic dialogue with Christianity and Buddhism, Duderija juxtaposes the work of foundational Islamic scholars, revealing how each promote various forms of inter-religious dialogue.

Reviews for Islam and Constructive Interreligious Engagement

Based on a precise analysis of the state of Confessional Comparative Theology, the book offers an amazing overview of the emerging field of Islamic Comparative Theology. It invites the reader into further engagement and provides a wonderful criteriology of how to discern comparative theology. * Klaus von Stosch, Schlegel-Professor for Systematic Theology and Head of the International Center for Comparative Theology, Bonn University * Islam and Constructive Interreligious Engagement is an important contribution to the study of religion and theology. Duderija, an established scholar of contemporary Islamic thought, combines impressive scholarly range with theological sensitivity, bringing Islamic thought into a rich and disciplined conversation with the wider field of comparative theology. Engaging Catherine Cornille’s theoretical framework with depth and precision, he offers a persuasive case for how Islamic theology can both learn from and contribute to global theological discourse. This is an original and timely work that will shape future discussions on Islam, interreligious understanding, and the possibilities of constructive theological engagement. * Abdullah Saeed, Sultan of Oman Professor of Arab and Islamic Studies, University of Melbourne *
