“This book is a gift to the field of interreligious education, and an


invitation to its teachers to teach from their hearts and minds. Prof.


Selcuk’s work is like that of a pentimento artist who carefully and meticulously


reveals original elements of a painting that have undergone changes


through the ages. With skillful and respectful academic rigor, she not


only restores and amplifies the brilliance and beauty of ancient Islamic


wisdom, she paints with fresh brushstrokes from a wide palette of her


own teaching experience and that of others thus making its tenets accessible


and relevant to present day perils of colliding worlds. Her melding of


theological scholarship and educational practice gives us hope by affirming


the wisdom that ‘…when old words die out on the tongue, new


melodies break forth from the heart’ (Tagore). It takes teachers like her


who are theological and educational artists to help make this happen,


and Dr. Selcuk beautifully shows us how.”
