• Title: Krščansko-muslimanski dialog v dokumentu Skupna beseda med vami in nami : dokument, utemeljen na naukih Korana

Abstract

Prispevek analizira krščansko-muslimanski dialog na podlagi dokumenta Skupna beseda med vami in nami kot pomembnega sodobnega primera medverskega dialoga. Raziskava izhaja iz koranskih besedil o dialogu z »ljudstvom Knjige« ter s pomočjo deskriptivno-analitične metode pokaže, da je dialog temeljno koransko načelo, utemeljeno na modrosti, pravičnosti in spoštovanju drugega. Dokument poudarja skupne verske in etične vrednote, zlasti ljubezen do Boga in bližnjega, ter predstavlja okvir za razvijanje konstruktivnega dialoga med kristjani in muslimani. Prispevek ugotavlja, da ima tak dialog ključno vlogo pri spodbujanju miroljubnega sobivanja, družbene kohezije in preprečevanju verskega ekstremizma. Posebej izpostavlja pomen prenosa dialoga s teoretične ravni v vsakdanje življenje ter potrebo po njegovi krepitvi v izobraževalnih in družbenih institucijah.
