ebooks The Extraordinary Coach: How the Best Leaders Help Others Grow by John H. Zenger; Kathleen Stinnett in History

Description

In the aftermath of 9/11 there has been much talk of a need to engage on a meaningful level with Islam; but where do we begin and what is the right approach? This book; available in paperback for the first time; looks at case studies from around the world in order to explore how Christian groups; sometimes as minorities and sometimes as the majority; engage with their Muslim neighbours in the search for a peaceful society. Some of the initiatives are politically motivated; others run by Church authorities and a number are community based; but all offer different approaches to a variety of situations that are encountered in Christian-Islamic dialogue. This is the first time that global strategies for dialogue have been published in one book by a series of leading academics. Whilst previous publications have concentrated on a particular geographical area; usually the Middle East or Europe; this book casts a wider net and considers issues such as the rise of radical Islam in post-Soviet states; Indonesian immigration in Australia and the spread of Islam amongst the Black South Africans after the fall of apartheid. Scholars and all those interested in politics; current affairs; religion or peace studies will find this book essential reading as a guidebook to the state of contemporary Christian-Islamic relations.
