Christianity/Islam: Perspectives on Esoteric Ecumenism, A New Translation with Selected Letters

by Frithjof Schuon, James Cutsinger (Editor)

Overview

Schuon's articles on the relationship between Christianity and Islam have profound implications in the field of inter-religious dialogue. Several thought-provoking chapters shed light, from an inward dimension, upon the apparent outward contradictions between these two religions, notably in the field of moral divergences. This new edition is a fully revised translation of the original French edition and contains an extensive new Appendix with previously unpublished selections from his letters and other private writings.
