Professor of Religious Studies at a New Zealand University, he holds adjunct professorial appointments in Australia and Switzerland.

He is currently Professor of Christianity and Islam and Nadir Dinshaw Professor of Interreligious Relations at the University of Birmingham. Among his most recent works are Christian Doctrines in Islamic Theology (Brill, 2008) and Christian--Muslim Relations, a bibliographical history, vols 1-5 (Brill, 2009-13).

Together, these chapters offer an exciting range of topics and issues that should broaden the relevance of the study of interreligious relations, presenting both a roadmap of the past and an agenda for the future. Overall, this volume raises issues that are as provocative as they are stimulating and I recommend it for all students entering the subject and for established scholars in the area whose imagination may have run dry.
