Beskrivelse
Can I be half Muslim and half Christian? Is the Bible like the Qur'an? Do Muslims believe in Jesus? Have you ever tried to explain religion to a child? What if that child had parents of different religions? Author Christine Chapman found herself in this position in discussions with her young grandchildren. Many texts explain religions as separate to each other but children these days have to try to make sense of religion in the context of multi-faith parentage or community. How do they distinguish between theology and culture, fact from family emotions? She set about researching and writing just such a text, adding illustrations on every page. She explores views on family life and marriage, dress and diet, prayer and festivals while explaining the beliefs of Muslims and Christians to children in a non-partisan, fact-based way. Her focus is on the need for understanding and friendship between members of both religions. Armed with this kind of understanding and knowledge she hopes and prays that the next generation may grow up to more peaceful times than ours.
