“Nothing is more important for the 21st century than that the world’s two billion Christians and its one billion Muslims learn to share our fragile planet and work together to address the severe needs of the hungry and the homeless. The ‘dialogue’ between these two Abrahamic faiths is proceeding apace, but usually at the high level of scholars and religious leaders. This fine book, however, describes an exciting process in which grassroots Christians and Muslims are learning to engage each other in friendship and respect. I hope it will multiply this process to many other places.”

“For such a time as this…. How do we live with those of other faiths and do it faithfully? That is the question. Josh has an answer that is not only worthy of your consideration, but (in some ways) demands it…. So how are we going to do it, in these days? Read this book!”

“There is nothing else like Loving Our Religious Neighbors. God has and will continue to use this in a powerful way. The Church in the West is waking up to realize we must all love and connect with our religious neighbors. Josh builds the tracks to do just that in a biblical, clear and practical way.”

“If you desire to be faithful to Christ, while winsomely engaging a multireligious society, then Loving Our Religious Neighbors is the book for you! To learn how to engage your religious neighbors through the prism of the ‘fruit of the spirit’ will move you (as he says) from hostility to hospitality. Loving Our Religious Neighbors addresses the burning issues we face in following Jesus in a ‘glocalized’ world ... pluralism, freedom of religion, and faithful witness.”

“Loving our Religious Neighbors is written for the global village. This book offers a model for inter-religious exchange out of a spirit of generosity at all levels of engagement—hands, heart and head.”

“In an era when Christians too easily either resist friendships with people of other faiths because of fear or abandon critical engagement in the name of tolerance, Josh provides a necessary rejoinder that strikes a superb balance between outright dismissal and cold-hearted evangelism…. This book serves as a clarion call to faithful Christian living among neighbors of other faith traditions.”

“Can Christians be committed both to the gospel of Christ and also to genuine religious dialogue with people of other faiths? … Can Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, and members of other religious traditions work together to alleviate human suffering? In Loving Our Religious Neighbors, Josh Daneshforooz answers these and similar questions with a resounding “Yes!” … Josh winsomely invites his readers to join him as he seeks to manifest the fruit of the Spirit in interfaith relationships.”
