Christianity, Islam and Secular Criticism by William Al-Sharif > About the Book | Contact the author
Christianity, Islam and Secular Criticism invites intellectuals to rethink the Christian and Islamic phenomena for the sake of justice, peace and freedom in the world. To achieve this goal, there must be a review of the methodological and epistemological basics used to understand Christian-Muslim dialogue. Many conferences on Christian-Muslim dialogue have failed because they refused to question the historical, ethical and logical credibility of Christianity and Islam. This book criticises Christian ideas that hinder the progress of dialogue, and rejects Islamism that makes Islam ideological thought and practice. It disagrees with the secularism that seeks to destroy religion even as a cultural and scientific subject, and emphasises the importance of secular criticism for a better understanding of our contemporary world. Al-Sharif’s position is largely critical and transparent; whether towards the religious groups that thwart every inquiry into their religious doctrines, or towards the secularist intellectuals who think that finding radical solutions to the problems of traditional religions is a waste of time. Perhaps this is the strength and uniqueness of this book.
