In his search for channels of dialogue between Christians and Muslims as we move further into the 21st century, the author finds that Jesus can be such a channel. Jesus, One Man Two Faiths explores a wide range of views within each faith that can be supported by what each faith considers to be its revealed scriptures and traditions. It explores Jesus' birth, his life and perfect servant and as suffering servant, his miracles, the events of Good Friday and Easter, the Ascension to heaven, and Jesus coming again at the end of time. One discovers not only similarities, some of which are quite surprising, but also differences that are more often complementary than contradictory, inviting believers in each faith to reflect on their own images of Jesus and, perhaps, expand those images in light of what the other has to offer.

Jesus: One Man, Two Faiths. Expanded Second Edition

Set in the 10th century Middle East, North Africa, Spain, and France, this is a story of two men from worlds apart, one Christian and one Muslim. They who meet and become lasting friends at the oldest university of the world. The Muslim, Hakeem, is a fictional character based on the historical person Ibn Hawqal who draws amazingly recognizable maps of the lands he travels. How does he learn to do that. More importantly, why? The Christian is Gerbert d'Aurillac, a young monk who becomes a brilliant mathematician and astronomer and creates an abacus and a celestial globe. Both are drawn into the political intrigue of the day. The Muslim becomes a spy for the Fatimid Caliphate; the Christian becomes Pope Sylvester II in 999. Why is the pope untroubled by the angst of Y1K?
