This new book goes far beyond mere reporting on a dialogical seminar; rather, it provides guidance and materials for constructing a similar dialogical experience on a particular topic. As a resource for comparative theology, Power: Divine and Human is unique in that it takes up a topic not usually explored in depth in Christian-Muslim conversations. It is written by scholars for scholars. However, in tone and structure, it is suitable for the non-specialist as well. Students (undergraduate and graduate), religious leaders, and motivated non-specialists will find it readable and useful. While it falls solidly in the domain of comparative theology, it can also be used in courses on dialogical reading of scripture, interreligious relations, and political philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePower Divine and Human: Christian and Muslim Perspectives is recommended for both Christian and Islamic studies collections. * Midwest Book Review *\u003cbr\u003e[A] relevant addition to any library of theology and comparative theology. * Muslim World Book Review *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eParticipants  Introduction  PART ONE: OVERVIEWS  The Power of God and Islam's Regime of Power on EarthJonathan Brown  Religion and Power: A Christian PerspectivePhilip Sheldrake  PART TWO: THE THEME OF \"POWER\" IN MUSLIM AND CHRISTIAN SCRIPTURES  The Contours of God's Power: An Introduction to Passages from the Quran and HadithMartin Nguyen  The Quran and Hadith on God's Power: Islamic Texts for Dialogue  Biblical Conceptions of Power—Divine and HumanStephen L.
