'Dialogue' has become a bit of a buzzword in discussions of inter-faith relationships, but it is not always clear what sort of interaction is needed. Badru Kateregga and David Shenk have demonstrated in a very helpful way how a Muslim and a Christian can converse meaningfully without slipping into a polemic on the one hand or denying their respective faith commitments on the other. The two friends wrote A Muslim and A Christian in Dialogue while teaching together at Kenyatta University in Nairobi. The book has won a reputation for itself as both a source of information about the two faiths and a model of respect and integrity.
