| Description: |
This book explores possibilities for dialogue with Iraqi Shi`i communities in the UK and Ireland who wish, in the midst of political, social and religious transition, to engage with elements of Christian theology such as pastoral or liberation theology. |
| Synopsis: |
This book studies the historical, religious and political concerns of the Iraqi Shi`i community as interpreted by the members of that community who now live in the United Kingdom and Ireland, following the 2003-2010 war and occupation in Iraq. It opens up a creative space to explore dialogue between Islam and the West, looking at issues such as intra-Muslim conflict, Muslim-Christian relations, the changing face of Arab Islam and the experience of Iraq in the crossfire of violence and terrorism - all themes which are currently emerging in preaching and in discussion among Iraqi Shi`a in exile. The book's aim is to explore possibilities for dialogue with Iraqi Shi`i communities who wish, in the midst of political, social and religious transition, to engage with elements of Christian theology such as pastoral and liberation theology. |
