Shafaqna English-The book Human-Animal: Ethical Relationship in Islam & Christianity, a dialogue between a Muslim cleric and a Christian priest on ethics, has been published in Canada.
The book is the outcome of a dialogue between Dr. Yahya Jahangiri, a researcher in Islamic studies, and Father Dave Smith, an Australian Anglican priest. It focuses on environmental ethics and the relationship between humans and animals.
The work examines ethical relations in Islam and Christianity through a question-and-answer dialogue between the two scholars.
The book is a direct outcome of the International Conference on Comparative Studies of Ethics in Islam and Christianity. The conference sought to turn shared ideas into deeper interfaith dialogue.
In the book, the perspectives of a Shia cleric and an Australian Anglican priest converge around the concept of ethics. Both authors draw on Shia and Christian sacred texts to discuss human responsibility toward the environment.
The book’s publication provides a platform for presenting perspectives from Islam and Christianity on the relationship between humans, animals and the environment.
