Muslim-Christian Dialogue: 1954-2012. A Review

Abstract

The article examines 50 years of Islamic-Christian dialogue through the lens of the USJ's declarations (1954-2012). These documents highlight the importance of themes such as citizenship in pluralistic societies, human fraternity, peace, and mutual respect, revealing a desire to transcend dogmatism and promote coexistence. Despite these theoretical advances, the dialogue struggles to materialize due to obstacles related to extremist interpretations of sacred texts and the lack of follow-up on recommendations. The author thus advocates for a more inclusive and concrete dialogue, capable of addressing the current challenges of secularization and conflict.
