About This Document: Shortly after the attacks of September 11, President Bush declared that the perpetrators had "violated the fundamental tenets of the Islamic faith" and that "Islam is peace." For Kng this helps to explain its militant spirit and Muslims' deep resentment of colonization and repression by the West, as well as their shame that the Islamic world has lagged in economic development and political power. At the end of the book, when Kng finally becomes constructive and suggests how Christians and Muslims should think about one another, we find that in order to talk to Muslims, we Christians must adhere to what Kng calls "an original New Testament perspective"- that is, we should follow the simple Jesus whom later "Hellenistic" speculation made complicated and "unbiblical" with doctrines like the two natures of Christ and the Trinity.
