An interreligious dialogue on the central Christian and Islamic concepts of mercy and grace seeking to foster and model mutual respect for different faith traditions

The themes of divine mercy and graciousness are among the most foundational concepts in both the Christian and Islamic traditions and scriptures. "Mercy" might seem more prominent in Islamic discourse than in Christian; and "grace" might seem more prominent in Christian thought than in Islamic. Yet, in fact, they are both present in each tradition.

Mercy and Grace presents an interreligious dialogue based on the Building Bridges Seminar, conceived from a desire to foster understanding and cooperation between the Christian and Islamic faiths.

Lucinda Mosher is director of the Master of Arts in Interreligious Studies program and an affiliate of the Macdonald Center for the Study of Islam and Christian–Muslim Relations at Hartford International University for Religion and Peace. She is also senior editor of the Journal of Interreligious Studies. She has written several books and edited or coedited nearly twenty titles, among them The Georgetown Companion to Interreligious Studies (2022).
