"Quando il cielo si squarcia. Il corano come evangelo per i cristiani"
Kurt Appel
EDB, Bologna 2021, 72 p.
ISBN: 978-88-10-55993-2
In questo manifesto teologico si pone la questione di cosa significhi che dopo il cristianesimo si affermi una religione – l’islam – con la pretesa di rivelazione che si riferisce a Gesù e al cristianesimo. C‘è una rivelazione di Dio nel Corano e possono i cristiani riconoscere un Evangelo in esso? Cosa significa quando cristiani e musulmani parlano insieme in nome di Dio, come nel caso di papa Francesco e del Grande Sceicco della Moschea Al-Azhar Al Tayyeb? Questo libro solleva inoltre due interrogativi: se cristiani e musulmani devono considerare le loro fedi l'una alla luce dell‘altra e cosa comporterebbe per un‘interpretazione della rivelazione cristiana considerare il Corano come una rivelazione voluta da Dio.
Sommario.
I. La dichiarazione congiunta di Papa Francesco e del Grande Imam Al-Tayyeb. II. Il Corano come Evangelo. III. Il nome di Dio. IV. Gesù e il nome YHWH. V. Spirito, libertà e leggibilità del mondo. VI. Il credo trinitario e il Corano.
