Jesus listened to others openly and with complete attention, often to people very different to himself. For Christian theology too, openness and listening are crucial first steps towards understanding. In Islam as Devotion, Christian theologian Ralf K. Wüstenberg listens to what Muslim scholars and students are saying about their faith in God. Clearly and skilfully he draws what he hears into conversation with Christian life and faith. The result is a beautiful book that will help open the minds and hearts of contemporary Christians to a deeper understanding not only of Islam, but of their own deepest faith, hope, and love for God.

Ralf Wüstenberg takes the readers along on a fascinating expedition. He lets them participate in his encounter with Islam. The readers get involved in the inner and outer dialogues the author had when he dived into the factual, intellectual, and spiritual cosmos of Islam.
