El Islam by Hans Küng
Geschichte, Gegenwart und Zukunft
A compact, sympathetic survey that traces Islam’s origins, core beliefs and practices, major theological schools and mystical traditions, and its historical cultural achievements, then turns to the religion’s encounter with modernity—political, social and intellectual challenges, the rise of fundamentalism, and debates about reform. The author situates Islamic teachings and law in historical context, compares Islamic and Christian perspectives, and argues for informed interfaith dialogue and mutual understanding as the best route to overcome conflict and to enable constructive change within Muslim societies.
