‘Vatican II famously stated that the Church “regards with esteem” Muslims. In this compelling book, which blends solid scholarship, personal engagement, and a touch of humour, Gabriel Reynolds shows us what this esteem means in practice, by highlighting eight ways in which Christians can be inspired by their fellow Muslims to be faithful to God. In dialogue we need to start from difference, Pierre Claverie, the martyr Bishop of Oran, used to say. Reynolds does just this. And with impressive results.’ Martino Diez, associate professor of Arabic, Catholic University of Milan
