An analysis of the challenges of religious diversity in the modern world, offering a way forward in a creative synthesis of both Muslim and Christian perspectives on tolerance and pluralism.
In our rapidly changing and progressively globalized world, Christians and Muslims are faced with the prospect of directly encountering and responding to people of other faiths and cultures. This has pushed us all to address the vital question of how best to live with, work beside, and love one another as fellow citizens of our planet. Using resources from Christian theologian Wolfhart Pannenberg, Muslim ethicist Abdulaziz Sachedina, and several others, Winkler argues that we must continually dialogue with one another – not only about the beliefs and practices held in common between us, but also about the ways in which we are distinctively different. Only then can we take the opportunity more comprehensively to understand, appreciate, and cooperate with each other to build just, moral, and cohesive communities of hope in our often uncertain and unsettling times.

"...Readers will gain a better understanding of Islam and also a larger view of how Christians can helpfully and faithfully approach interfaith dialogue and religious pluralism. The book identifies hopeful signs and severe obstacles to interfaith dialogue with a sense of realism. Winkler presents one small voice amongst a cacophony of Islamic radicalism. The book is helpful and intriguing..." Craig Stephans, Theological book review, Vol. 24, No 2, 2012. '...[Contemporary Muslim and Christian Responses to Religious Plurality] is a fair assessment of hopeful avenues for, and serious obstacles to, fruitful interfaith dialogue. All engaged with interfaith dialogues, or studying Christian and Islamic responses to religious pluralism, religious globalization, and future pathways of interfaith dialogue will find this book informative...' Armand J. Boehme, Reviews in Religion & Theology, Volume 20, Issue 2, March 2013."Muslim and Christian readers alike will benefit from and appreciate the way Winkler interprets Sachedina and compares and contrasts him with other Islamic voices that promote polemics and coercion of people outside Islam and of different traditions within Islam. Readers will come away with a better understanding of Islam and also a larger view of how Christians can approach inter-faith dialogue and religious pluralism without defensiveness or aggressive, threatening evangelism. ... Winkler's work is useful and a signpost for fresh encounters between Christians and Muslims. It can be commended for reading by practitioners of Christian-Muslim dialogue, for graduate and undergraduate students in this field."Ian G. Williams, The Muslim World Book Review, 33:2. 2013
