Description
A fresh approach to interfaith dialogue, this account exposes the similarities and differences between Christian and Muslim beliefs through the remarkable art inspired by them. Probing yet joyful, this examination demonstrates the centrality of God’s beauty in both faiths, presents the sacred arts of both religions, and explores the diverse ways in which devotees honor God. Candid and comprehensive, this discussion argues that Christian and Muslim artworks are not merely adornments, but the essential means of motivating adherents to live beautiful liveslives devoted to the service of God and humanity. - from Amzon
