Overviews -- The power of god and Islam's regime of power on earth / Jonathan Brown -- Religion and power : a Christian perspective / Philip Sheldrake -- Power in Muslim and Christian scriptures -- The contours of god's power : an introduction to passages from the Qur'an and Hadith / Martin Nguyen -- Qur'an and Hadith on god's power : texts for dialogue -- Biblical conceptions of power; divine and human / Stephen Cook -- The Bible on divine and human power : texts for dialogue -- Power and community in Islamic and Christian writings -- Ideals and realities of Muslim community ordering / Ahmet Alibasi -- Islamic texts on ideals and realities of Muslim community ordering -- The community of god's rule : from nation to church / Joan O'Donovan -- Christian texts on the community of god's rule -- Political power and faith -- The role of the community in the broader world : Islamic perspectives / Mahan Mirza -- Islamic texts for dialogue on community in the broader world -- Faith and political power : a "non-establishment" reading of the Christian tradition / Jonathan Chaplin -- Christian texts for dialogue on faith and political power -- Reflections -- Conversations on power : some reflections on Building Bridges Seminar 2017.
Summary: This is the next volume of the Building Bridges Seminar. As is always the case, Power--Divine and Human: Christian and Muslim Perspectives comprises pairs of essays by Christians and Muslims which introduce texts for dialogical study, plus the actual text-excerpts themselves. This new book goes far beyond mere reporting on a dialogical seminar; rather, it provides guidance and materials for constructing a similar dialogical experience on a particular topic. As a resource for comparative theology, Power--Divine and Human is unique in that it takes up a topic not usually explored in depth in Christian-Muslim conversations. It is written by scholars for scholars. However, in tone and structure it is suitable for the non-specialist as well. Students (undergraduate and graduate), religious leaders, and motivated non-specialists will find it readable and useful. While it falls solidly in the domain of comparative theology, it can also be used in courses on dialogical reading of scripture, interreligious relations, and political philosophy.
