Book Summary
"Building a Better Bridge" is a record of the fourth "Building Bridges" seminar held in Sarajevo in 2005 as part of an annual symposium on Muslim-Christian relations cosponsored by Georgetown University and the Archbishop of Canterbury that deals with issues of citizenship, religious belonging, and the relationship between government and religion. Both Christian and Muslim scholars ask key questions in addressing the issue of the common good. How do we approach the civic sphere as believers in particular faiths and as citizens of mixed societies? How do we accommodate our commitment to religious values with acknowledgment of human disagreement, and how can this be expressed in models of governance and justice? Michael Ipgrave and his contributors do not claim to provide definitive answers to these questions, but further a necessary dialogue and show that the acknowledgment of one another as people of faith is the surest ground on which to build trust, friendship, and cooperation.
