| Summary: | This volume engages traditional and contemporary approaches to the Divine attributes in Christian-Muslim dialogue. A particular focus lies on the attributes of omnipotence and omniscience, justice and mercy, as well as simplicity and divine action. Engaging these attributes comparatively, two questions are posed: How can these attributes be conceived today, and to what extent is a mutual learning across religious traditions possible? Thereby, a special focus is placed on the role of analytic philosophy. How do the philosopical ‘language games‘ used contribute to communicability across religions? "The drafts of the papers gathered in this volume were presented during a summer school at the Universität of Paderborn in 2019 and an online workshop in 2021. As such, they are the result of an international encounter and engaged discussions of emerging scholars as we as experts from Protestant, Catholic, Shi'ite and Sunnite backgrounds. Throughout the workshop, Jewish colleagues joined and tremendously enriched the debates" -- p. X |
