Mais bien plus qu'un simple reportage, ce numéro permet d'alimenter une intelligence du dialogue islamochrétien à partir de ces expériences particulières « pour faire des convictions religieuses des chrétiens et des musulmans, de leurs rencontres et de leurs dialogues, un tremplin pour servir la fraternité et la solidarité dans la société » (p. 115). Comme le souligne Mgr Marc Stenger, évêque de Troyes et président de Pax Christi France dans son Liminaire, « cela ne va pas de soi d'honorer cet enjeu du dialogue entre chrétiens et musulmans, en particulier dans les quartiers populaires. Il y a tout un chemin à suivre à partir de ces rencontres qui se font sur un terrain précis, dans la vie collective, sociale, culturelle, de loisir. Il n'est pas gagné d'avance de traduire ce qui habite les uns et les autres en profondeur dans un discours "religieux".

In a recent article on the contribution of the White Fathers to the renewal of Catholic attitudes towards Islam, Rémi Caucanas rightly notes that their founder's legacy "was not without ambiguity" in this regard and that this missionary society's option for dialogue took place only in the first part of the twentieth century. After briefly recalling the biography of Cardinal Charles Lavigerie (1825-1882), this article attempts to sketch his evolving views on Christian-Muslim relations as reflected in his vast personal correspondence, his pastoral letters and the detailed instructions he wrote for his missionaries.

the advice which you offer, and the intention which you disclose.” With these words begins the reply written by the eminent Andalusian Mālikī scholar Abū l-Walīd Sulaymān al-Bājī (d. 1081) to a letter received at the Muslim court of Saragossa from an unidentified ‘monk of France’ inviting the ruler to convert to Christianity. This letter, if authentic, is the earliest extant record of a Christian mission to Muslims in the West. After introducing al-Bājī and situating him in the socio-political and religious circumstances of the time, this article offers a review of past scholarship relating to this correspondence, which has mostly focused on the authenticity of the Christian letter and the possible identification of its author. It is argued in favor of the authenticity of the exchange, offering reasons for it. The article then turns to al-Bājī’s text, seeking to draw from it what it can tell us about him and how he viewed Christians and Christianity.

Islam et appartenances [Pensée religieuse et philosophique arabe, 42]
Paris: Éditions L’Harmattan, 2020.
Ce livre aborde la question cruciale « Islam et appartenances » sous trois angles : théologique, le contexte du Proche-Orient et celui de l'Europe. Offrant le double avantage d'être moins rigide que la catégorie d'identité et plus articulée au phénomène de recompositions propre à la modernité, la notion d'appartenance ouvre sur nombre de champs de réflexion, notamment sociologique, politique et théologique. Les transformations contemporaines ne sauraient être appréhendées en faisant l'économie des modes d'articulation, de transition, de rupture et d'antagonisme qui se nouent entre la tradition et la modernité. La pluralité des approches, des terrains et des contextes culturels éclaire autrement ce qui apparaît de l'ordre d'une crispation identitaire en référence à une religion, l'islam.
