In Love with Islam, Believing in Jesus is a remarkable translation of Fr. Paolo DallOglio's seminal book, Amoureux de l'Islam, croyant en Jésus, written in collaboration with Églantine Gabaix-Hialé. Fr. Paolo, an Italian-born Jesuit who made Syria and the Monastery of Deir Mar Musa his adopted home, delves into his affection for Islam and his vision for a more fruitful dialogue between the Church and Muslims through the sharing of everyday life. The ecumenical community dedicated to dialogue, welcoming thousands of visitors from all nationalities throughout the year, is a testament to Fr. Paolo's thirty years of experience and commitment to interreligious dialogue. In this book, Fr. Paolo addresses critical questions about living together, the mission of the Christian faith in a Muslim environment, and the theological value of Muhammads prophecy. He rejects both the polemical and excessively diplomatic approaches, advocating for a "performative theology" based on ra.
