On Being Human: Essays from the Fifth Shi'i Muslim Mennonite Christian Dialogue

A collection of dialogical essays around various topics pertaining to human nature and destiny from a theological perspective. The essays reflect the authors' ideas of how best to convey what they hold to be not only their personal beliefs, but also the beliefs of their communities, to an audience that is not expected to share these beliefs. Surprises abound as discussions reveal both astonishing similarities across religious convictions and differences in basic concepts where similarities were assumed.
