Cristianesimo e Islam
14,00€
On the theme of the integration of people that practice the Islamic religion we witness the comparison of radicalized views of things: on one hand a superficial “ecumenical” goodwill according to which there wouldn’t be any substantial difference between Christianity and Islam, religions united by an identical descent from Abraham. On the other hand there is the policy of wall against wall that pushes us to identify the Muslim as the enemy sic et simpliciter. The work proposes to read (or reread) the founding documents of the two religions in order to grasp the actual, historically founded dimension of their relations; to recover a minimum of knowledge of the reality of the problem.
This book is dedicated, amongst others, to the Eastern Christians who put their lives at risk every day because of their faith and the ferocious intolerance proper to their context.
Giancarlo Rinaldi taught History of Christianity at Naples Eastern University. He was particularly interested in the relationship between Christianity and paganism with special attention to the latter’s perception of the spread of the Christian faith. For EDIZIONI GBU he published the monumental Cristianesimi nell’antichità (2008).
