Who is Jesus? Both Christians and Muslims believe in Jesus and revere him highly. But how do Christianity and Islam differ in regard to Jesus’s identity? How do they agree? And how should Muslims and Christians relate to one another given these similarities and differences? In order to have open conversation about Jesus, we assembled this panel to help us understand his identity from the perspective of both faiths and address common questions. 

Every year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on September 21st. The United Nations declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace.

Christian refugee workers and ministry leaders from around the world visited a mosque in Sarajevo this month to learn from local Muslims about Islam, the refugee crisis, and the opportunities and challenges that occur when doing humanitarian work and talking about faith. Here’s what we can all learn from their conversation.

We’re not just peacemakers; we’re Jesus-centered peacemakers. Here’s how we do it and how you can get started.

Recently I heard a preacher talk about Jesus’ story of the prodigal son. Whenever I hear that story, I place myself in the story. Am I the son who has gone too far and squandered what has been given to me? Am I the older son looking down my nose at others who don’t obey the rules as well as I do? But there is a third character in the story I never presumed to be: the father.

Insulting another person’s faith is usually not a good way to kick off a relationship. I thought of the golden rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” I did not like having my faith insulted. Maybe I should not be condescending about other’s concepts of God. Maybe we should think twice before we go into attack mode and attempt to dismantle another person’s faith.
