A Muslim View of Christianity features key texts on Muslim-Christian relations from the pen of Professor Mahmoud Ayoub, who is currently Faculty Associate in Shi‘ite Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations at the renowned Macdonald Center for the Study of Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations in the United States and who was born into a Shi‘ite family in Southern Lebanon. His authority in both the scholarship and comparative study of Islam and Muslim-Christian relations, as well as interreligious dialogue, is demonstrated by the national and international recognition he has received. Hailing himself from a multireligious kaleidoscopic setting - in Southern Lebanon, Shi‘ite Muslims have for centuries lived side-by-side with Christians of various denominations - Ayoub is perhaps particularly well suited when it comes to discussing Christianity from the perspective of Islam.
