Christianity/Islam: Perspectives on Esoteric Ecumenism : a New Translation with Selected LettersSchuon's articles on the relationship between Christianity and Islam have profound implications in the field of inter-religious dialogue.

This new edition is a fully revised translation of the original French edition and contains an extensive new Appendix with previously unpublished selections from his letters and other private writings. |
