Hundreds of millions of Muslims and Christians are neighbours to each other and also worship the same God; yet they seldom witness to each other. This book is an attempt by a Muslim and a Christian to witness and to listen. The issues that they deal with are exceedingly serious and profound; they open-up the basic questions of the human situation which may cause pain but are still vital to our understanding of both faiths.
