Can Muslims and Christians resolve their religious and social conflicts? : cases from Africa and the United States / edited by Marinus C. Iwuchukwu and Brian Stiltner ; with forewords by Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf and Most Rev. Matthew Hassan Kukah. - Lewiston, NY : Edwin Mellen Pess, 2013. - 1 online resource

Includes bibliographical references.

This is a collection of essays that address inter-faith dialogue between Muslims and Christians in America and Africa. It addresses the issues dealing with how some Christians depict America as founded on Christian principles, and how this might deter dialogue across different religions. The goal is to get people to converse, not as formulaic Muslims or Christians, but as people with complex, plural, and ever-changing identities that defuse religious antagonism.
