Summary

Marking the first anniversary of the terrible events of September 11, this book offers a considered and comprehensive religious perspective on the terrorist attacks. Featuring 14 essays by leading scholars of sociology, theology, and history, this book examines all aspects of the events, from the motivations driving Bin Laden, to the difficult question of "Why did God permit this?." Objective and sensitive throughout, the book covers both Muslim and Christian perspectives, and concludes with a timely message of hope and reconciliation.
