God´s First Name
An Islamic-Christian discussion about mercy
With a preface by Annette Schavan
In various publications and initiatives, Walter Kardinal Kasper has made »mercy« a central theme in theology and pastoral care. For Mouhanad Khorchide, professor of Islamic Religious Education at the University of Münster, mercy is a central feature of a modern understanding of Islam.
This book documents their discussions about what unites Christians and Muslims in terms of mercy. It has been edited by experienced Vatican journalist Jürgen Erbacher, and includes a preface by the German ambassador to the Vatican, Annette Schavan, who invited them to have these important conversations.
