商品描述

In these times of rising tensions between Christians and Muslims across the world, the need for harmony and peace has never been more urgent. As one of the world's leading advocates of interfaith dialogue, Craig Considine introduces readers to the provocative idea of the Synthesis of Civilizations, a theory that pushes beyond dialogue to show where and how Western and Islamic civilizations have been - and continue to be - in a deeper union with one another.

With an open mind and a deep appreciation of the Abrahamic tradition, Considine takes readers on a fascinating journey across history and the current state of Christian-Muslim relations in seven "battleground" regions of the world. Alongside the undeniable tensions between Christians and Muslims, the book presents and applies an interfaith community-building tool - DEUCE - focused on dialogue, education, understanding, commitment, and engagement. With unprecedented civilizational scope and sweeping sociological insight, Considine does full justice to the religious and social bonds between Christianity and Islam.

While daily headlines highlight the shared fear, persecution, and violence experienced by Christians and Muslims worldwide, Beyond Dialogue is intended to inspire interfaith bridge builders who are passionate about defending and promoting civility, humanity, and pluralism on the world stage.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在當前全球基督教徒與穆斯林之間緊張局勢上升的時期,追求和諧與和平的需求比以往任何時候都更加迫切。作為全球領先的宗教對話倡導者之一,Craig Considine 向讀者介紹了「文明綜合」的挑釁性概念,這一理論超越了對話,展示了西方與伊斯蘭文明在何處以及如何持續深度聯結。

Considine 以開放的心態和對亞伯拉罕傳統的深刻欣賞,帶領讀者踏上了一段迷人的歷史之旅,探索基督教與穆斯林關係在全球七個「戰場」地區的現狀。除了基督教徒與穆斯林之間無可否認的緊張關係外,本書還提出並應用了一種宗教間社群建設工具——DEUCE,專注於對話、教育、理解、承諾和參與。Considine 以前所未有的文明範疇和廣泛的社會學洞察,充分展現了基督教與伊斯蘭教之間的宗教和社會聯繫。

儘管每日新聞突顯了基督教徒和穆斯林在全球所經歷的共同恐懼、迫害和暴力,《超越對話》旨在激勵那些熱衷於捍衛和促進文明、人性和多元主義的宗教間橋樑建設者,讓他們在世界舞台上發揮影響力。
