The LMT Resource Circle team is recommending 'A Comparative Dictionary of Religious Terms in Islam and Christianity', by Peter Pikkert and M. Numan Malkoç.
The following review was taken from online vendors:
"This comparative dictionary of theological terms is written by two theologians, one a conservative Sunni Muslim and the other a conservative evangelical Christian. Both believe that their respective religion is the one true path to God. Neither believes in seeking common ground simply for the sake of unity. Though Islam and Christianity use the same words, their meanings are understood very differently.
In this work Drs. Malkoç and Pikkert each define what the 600+ words in this dictionary means to him. In doing so they spell out the irreconcilable differences between their respective understandings of God, the nature of revelation, faith, redemption, judgment, the world to come, and many other religious beliefs. In the process they demonstrate that differences in worldview do not preclude respectful interaction and friendship."
