The Dictionary of Encounter juxtaposes Christian and Muslim views of their own respective
religions. Theologians from Germany and Turkey explain the basic concepts of their religions
presenting them side by side and thus inviting readers to better understand their own and other
religions. It is an indispensable guide for Christians and Muslims living together in a
pluralistic democratic society. In its pursuit of improving interreligious dialogue the
Eugen Biser Foundation has joined with Ankara University to develop a foundational tool for the
advancement of Christian-Islamic understanding.
