The Search For Forgiveness

In this carefully researched and respectful analysis, Chawkat Moucarry explores the Islamic and Christian approaches to the subject of God's forgiveness by comparing their theologies, mystical traditions, practical ethics and sacred writings.

"Chawkat Moucarry takes us on a tour of Islam, looking at the reaching of the Qur'an and the Prophetic Tradition (Hadith), examining the ways they have been interpreted by Muslim theologians and mystics. He concludes each chapter with a Christian perspective from the Bible." "Both the Bible and the Qur'an speak of a God who is sovereign, merciful, just and forgiving. In this carefully researched and respectful study, the author seeks to break down some of the misconceptions, and to go beyond the superficial. Without ignoring the real differences between the two religions, his aim is to build bridges rather than barriers. He also highlights how God's character is perfectly and uniquely fulfilled in Jesus Christ through his life, death and resurrection."--BOOK JACKET.Read less
