Here is such a religious experiment, an inter-religious theological quest, framed in the interests of peacemaking. Fadi Daou and Nayla Tabbara, he a Maronite priest and she a Muslim Sunni, respectively, share one objective: to show what the Christian and Muslim faiths teach with regard to religious “otherness” and to indicate the rela- tionship that may link the believer of another religion to God. It is this honest attempt to find divine hospitality that opens each religion to spiritual solidarity and to the reality, presence, and gift of the other.

Fadi Daou and Nayla Tabbara are chairs of the Adyan Foundation, Beirut, Lebanon, where Daou is Professor of Christian Theology, Interreligious Dialogue, and Geopolitical Religion, and Tabbara is Professor of Religious Studies and Islamic Studies.
