Abstract:
Millions of Muslims have immigrated to Europe and North America in the past 50 years, igniting fierce public debates about religious freedom and tolerance, terrorism and security, gender and race, and much more. Theologian and ethicist Matthew Kaemingk offers a thought-provoking Christian pluralist perspective. Rejecting both fearful nationalism and romantic multi-culturalism, Christian pluralism is commited to both the historic Christian faith and the public rights, dignity, and freedom of Islam.
