Document Details : Title: Do Christians and Muslims Worship the Same God? Subtitle: Lessons for and from Evangelicals Author(s): BIESBROUCK, Wouter Journal: Louvain Studies Volume: 40 Issue: 3 Date: 2017 Pages: 260-272 DOI: 10.2143/LS.40.3.3245491 Abstract : This article interacts with D’Costa’s Chapter 4, 'The Council and the Muslims: Worshipping the Same God?' by looking for ways in which his research can bear fruit in Evangelical theology of interreligious dialogue and in the Muslim-Evangelical interreligious dialogue. The wider question tackled is, 'Can Evangelicals learn from Catholics with respect to theology of interreligious dialogue?' and more specifically, 'Does D’Costa’s book offer help in this respect?' The article also investigates whether a recent discussion among Evangelicals on the issue of 'do Christians and Muslims worship the same God' can also contribute to D’Costa’s analysis and the wider Roman Catholic-Muslim dialogue. This article, then is not merely an exercise in theology of religions, but also in ecumenical theology. |
