co-edited by Michel Younès and André Wénin.
This book initiates a dialogue between Christian and Muslim theologians on how the former view Islam and the questions it raises for them.
Michel Younès (UCLy) introduces the overall questioning on the basis of a brief historical overview. Gabriel Sayd Reynolds (Notre-Dame, USA) proposes his vision of the Koran as a parenetic writing. Klaus von Stosch (Paderborn) shows under what conditions a Christian can see Muhammad as a “Prophet”. Henri de La Hougue (Paris) questions the respective conception of God of the two religions, and Maurice Borrmans (Rome) and Michel Younès offer their reflections on the main cultic acts in Islam, notably in the light of Vatican II.
Entrant ensuite dans le dialogue, deux théologiens musulmans disent ce que leur inspire la lecture des textes précédents. R. Benzine (Trappes) livre ses réflexions critiques avec franchise, soulignant notamment les points de désaccord. As for Adnane Mokrani (Rome), he proposes an example of what could be a Muslim approach to the central dogmas of Christianity.

Cet ouvrage amorce un dialogue entre théologiens chrétiens et musulmans sur la façon dont les premiers considèrent l’islam et sur les questions qu’il éveille chez eux.
M. Younès (UCLy) introduit le questionnement d’ensemble sur la base d’un rapide regard historique. G.S. Reynolds (Notre-Dame, USA) propose sa vision du Coran comme écrit parénétique. Kl. von Stosch (Paderborn) montre à quelles conditions un chrétien peut voir en Muhammad un «Prophète». H. de La Hougue (Paris) interroge la conception de Dieu respective des deux religions, et M. Borrmans (Rome) et M. Younès livrent leurs réflexions sur les principaux actes cultuels en islam, notamment à la lumière de Vatican II.
Entrant ensuite dans le dialogue, deux théologiens musulmans disent ce que leur inspire la lecture des textes précédents. R. Benzine (Trappes) livre ses réflexions critiques avec franchise, soulignant notamment les points de désaccord. Quant à A. Mokrani (Rome), il propose un exemple de ce que pourrait être une approche musulmane de dogmes centraux du christianisme.
مدوّنات مجلّة لوفين اللاهوتية العدد 45
بإشراف ميشال يونس وأندريه وينان
يُطلق هذا العمل حوارًا بين اللاهوتيين المسيحيّين وعلماء الدين المسلمين حول الطريقة التي ينظر فيها اللاهوتيّون إلى الإسلام وحول الأسئلة التي يثيرها في أذهانهم.
يعرض ميشال يونس (جامعة كاليفورنيا، لوس أنجلوس) الطرحَ العام بالاستناد إلى نظرة تاريخية سريعة. ويقدّم غابريل سعيد رينولدز (جامعة نوتردام ، الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية) رؤيته للقرآن على أنّه كتاب أخلاقي ديني. يوضّح كلاوس فون ستوش (بادربورن) لجهته الظروف التي يرى في ظلّها المسيحي في محمد “نبيًا”. يتساءلُ هنري دو لا هوغ (باريس) عن مفهوم الله الخاصّ بالديانتين، ويقدّم موريس بورمانس (روما) وميشال يونس أفكارهما حول العبادات الرئيسية في الإسلام، لا سيما في ضوء المجمع الفاتيكاني الثاني.
انضمّ إلى الحوار في ما بعد عالما دين مُسلمَان ليشاركا ما ألهمتهما إيّاه قراءة النصوص الدينية السابقة. وعرضَ رشيد بنزين (تراب) أفكاره النقدية بصراحة مسلّطاً الضوء بشكل خاص على نقاط الخلاف. أمّا عدنان مقراني (روما)، فقدّم مثالاً حول ما قد تكون عليه المقاربة الإسلامية للعقائد الجوهرية المسيحية.
