German description: Der offene Brief Ein gemeinsames Wort zwischen Uns und Euch (EWG) ist ein einmaliges Beispiel des internationalen christlich-muslimischen Dialoges. Die Kernbotschaft von EGW ist, dass Frieden zwischen ChristInnen und MuslimInnen fur die Zukunft der Welt massgeblich ist. EGW mochte politische Veranderung mittels theologische Argumentation erzielen, denn friedliche Islam-West-Beziehungen konnen durch eine Verbesserung von christlich-muslimischen-Verhaltnissen erreicht werden. Diese Studie untersucht – als erste dieser Art – die Entstehungs- und Wirkungsgeschichte von EGW und hebt die Wichtigkeit von spezifischen historischen und soziopolitischen Kontexten und Umstanden hervor, die seine Form und seinen Inhalt massgeblich beeinflusst haben.
