Anthropological aspects in the Christian-Muslim dialogues of the Vatican

"This detailed study by Jutta Sperber shows how the magisterium of the Roman-Catholic Church, the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue and various parts of the Muslim world from Saudi Arabia to Iran have been engaged in Christian-Muslim dialogues. The mainly anthropological topics range from tolerance and human dignity, the position of women and children, media and education to mission, resources and nationalism. They paint an interesting picture of the position of Man before God and the world in both Christianity and Islam."--
