Certainty Trap, The : Can Christians and Muslims afford the luxury of fundamentalism?
Outline: In recent decades, a "certainty trap" has sprung up within both Islam and Christianity, resulting in a world struggling with the fallout from extremist and violent interpretations of what "the word of God" might mean. The Certainty Trap asks whether Christians and Muslims - equally - can any longer afford the luxury of fundamentalism. Musk looks at the phenomenon of fundamentalism in Christianity and its contributions toward the messy state of international affairs in which many - especially Muslims - find themselves today. By scrutinizing "sacred book interpretation" in both the Islamic and Christian heritages, The Certainty Trap challenges contemporary fundamentalism, and poses a significant question: "How, in our world, can one be a convinced and yet 'not totally certain' believer?"
