Miroslav Volf is one of my favourite theologians.
Today I received his "Allah:a christian response" in the mail.
I'm about half way through, and so far, it is a terribly disappointing book.
Poorly written, self congratulatory, engaging in caricatures, logically flawed, muddled and worst of all, theologically pretty facile. There are some interesting and illuminating points, but I don't think they support his argument, that christians and muslims worship the same God, very well.
Though he rejects Feurbach, Volf effectively treats God as a bunch of concepts held inside the head of professional theologians.
Perhaps the second half will be much better.

Mike what are the best arguments for Christians and Muslims worshiping the same God?
