Description
A case-study on Muslim-Christian relations in Nigeria is an apt introduction to this chapter, “Justice and Love: Prince Ghazi and the Common Word.” Prince Ghazi of Jordan penned this letter about love being central to both the Christian and Muslim religious traditions and his views provide a useful backdrop for moving this interfaith dialogue forward.
