		<description><![CDATA[The Gospels make clear that Jesus was not only bringing a special message. He personified what God reveals. He was not only an â€˜emissaryâ€™ but the personality in and through whom God is known. Whereas in Islam the Quran is the very â€˜textâ€™ of divine truth, the New Testament is the access to the Christ-expression of God. The Scripture has its being by derivation from the prior and primarily reality of â€˜the Word made fleshâ€™]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Christians buttress evidence for the historical factuality of the cross by appealing to eyewitness-accounts and reports found in non-Christian historical sources (Josephus, Tacitus). Muslim critics therefore grudgingly acknowledge that historically a crucifixion did occur. However, they suggest that someone other than Jesus was crucified. They argue that Christians have misunderstood the significance of the cross because they are victims of an illusion. God, they claim, replaced Jesus with someone that bore his likeness.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How do we adjudicate the difference between Christians and Muslims regarding the prophetic mission and status of Jesus? Obviously, the issue cannot be answered in abstraction. For this reason, it is unfortunate that the controversy revolving around the incarnation of Christ has overshadowed his actual life lived out in history. It is of vital importance that Christians present their doctrine not as an imposition of a philosophical grid on the historical facts. Their proclamation of Jesus as Godâ€™s incarnation should be seen as a compelling conclusion based on a respectful handling and faithful interpretation of the historical data. In other words, reading about the life and works of Christ must lead us to ask what manner of man was Jesus: Isnâ€™t he a remarkable man; isnâ€™t he a prophet; isnâ€™t he more than a prophet and what then?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reginald Fuller argues that the category of the eschatological prophet remains the best category for understanding Jesusâ€™ historical mission and â€œgives a unity to all of Jesusâ€™ historical activity, his proclamation, his teaching with exousia (â€˜authorityâ€™), his healings and exorcisms, his conduct in eating with the outcast, and finally his death in the fulfillment of his prophetic mission. Take the implied self-understanding of his role in terms of the eschatological prophet away, and the whole ministry falls into a series of unrelated, if not meaningless fragmentsâ€?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Participants seeking dialog with Islam may well despair when confronted by what seems to be a religion that is fixed and unchangeable. How can dialog be possible if participants are not open to rational discussion? In this regard, it is encouraging to note the emergence of Muslim scholars calling for reformation of Islamic law as a necessity for successful engagement with Modernity. I find the proposal for reformation of Shariah law by Abdullahi An-Naâ€™im, having the most potential for opening new possibilities for dialogue.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some Christians avoid dialogue because of their own misconceptions. It is therefore appropriate for us to analyze how the meaning and goals of true dialogue could realistically be set in Malaysia. In the first place Christians should enter into the national debate about what common society we should work towards. The absence of a Christian voice results in a de facto surrendering of the public sphere to the dominant majority. Surely, this is an irresponsible act and an unconditional surrender to the hegemonic majority. Our failure to respond vigorously has resulted in a continual erosion of our Constitutional rights by many undebated legislations.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been honored to receive two replies to my article â€œMulticulturalism â€“ How Can it be Wrong?â€? published in the STAR (25/08/2006), which was in fact a response to an an earlier article "Debunking Multiculturalism" written by Md Asham Ahmad from IKIM (STAR 22/08/06).

Due to the constraint of time, I shall presently only give a brief response to a few issues raised by Md Asham Ahmad and Marzuki Mohamad in their responses to my article.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[â€œWhat bad News!â€? What else could we say to the newsagent as we grabbed a copy of the newspapers the morning after the September 11 attacks on America? We expected him to share our feelings of revulsion and horror. We were thus stunned when the newsagent grinned, gave the â€˜thumbs-upâ€™ signal and cheerfully declared the attacks to be â€œ Good news.â€? We were equally disgusted when a friend reported that the counter clerk she met in her bank argued that the Americans deserved what they got.]]></description>
