About This Book

September 11, 2001, highlighted the urgent need for greater understanding among religious traditions. Specifically, the lack of acceptance and appreciation between Muslims and Christians was suddenly catapulted into headlines around the world. Now, in the aftermath of war in Iraq, the need for understanding and respect among religious traditions and various cultures becomes ever more important. It is my hope that this book might nurture that mutual respect that fosters peace and justice, for they are God's desire for us, and gifts that all races and religions seek.

was

the

himself 

AND

that 

the

head 

is

also 

that 

of

the

Sultan. 

“In

our

opinion, 

it

is

the

head 

of

a

Saracen, 

and

more 

precisely 

that

of

the

sultan. 

Compare 

Francis’s 

graphic 

with 

the

sultan 

in

Giotto’s 

fresco 

at

the

Basilica 

of

Assisi. 

The

analogy 

is

a

striking

one.”
