QOM, Iran — Consonance of Islam & Christianity in Positive Global Ethics, a collaborative volume bringing together Muslim and Christian scholars and researchers, has reached international book markets following its publication in Canada, with the volume now available through major book retailers and distribution platforms in several countries.
Published in 2026 by the Canadian International Publishing Group, the 196-page volume explores shared ethical foundations between Islam and Christianity and examines the potential contribution of the two religious traditions to global ethics, peacebuilding, peaceful coexistence, interreligious dialogue, and ethical responses to contemporary challenges.
The book grew out of the International Conference on Comparative Studies of Ethics in Islam and Christianity, an academic and interfaith initiative developed within the framework of the Islamic Sciences and Culture Academy in Qom. The conference brought together Muslim and Christian scholars from Iran, the United States, and other countries to explore areas of convergence between the two traditions and their possible contribution to contemporary global ethical discourse.
At the heart of the volume is an examination of common ethical ground between Islam and Christianity. Drawing on the sacred texts and intellectual traditions of both religions, the contributors consider how religious traditions can contribute to human solidarity, peace, and the reduction of violence and conflict. The introduction to the book places particular emphasis on unity, human empathy, and the constructive role of the Abrahamic faiths in addressing divisions and contemporary global challenges.
The volume features contributions from scholars and researchers including Mohammad Legenhausen, Mohammad-Jafar Amir-Moezzi, Charles Randall Paul, Dennis R. Cooney, Peter M. Sensenig, Hassan Bosaliki, and Mohammad-Taqi Eslami.
One of the book’s notable features is the diversity of its contributors. The volume brings together Iranian scholars working in philosophy, ethics, and Islamic studies with Christian scholars and thinkers from the United States and other parts of the international academic community. Their contributions approach questions of ethics, peace, nonviolence, the common good, and the ethics of war from a range of intellectual and religious perspectives.
Among the contributions is an article by Mohammad Legenhausen, an American philosopher and a longstanding scholar of the philosophy of religion in Iran, addressing the theme of intellectual humility. Charles Randall Paul, known for his work in religious diplomacy and interfaith engagement in the United States, examines disagreements surrounding the common good.
Other contributors focus on peace and nonviolence from Christian perspectives. Dennis R. Cooney notes that he wrote his contribution on Islamic and Christian ethics in Chicago and prepared it for presentation at an ethics conference in Qom. Peter M. Sensenig presents the project under the theme of “Consonance of Islam and Christianity in Advancing Global Ethics” and examines the biblical foundations of peacemaking from a Mennonite Christian perspective.
The publication marks a further step in bringing scholarly dialogue between Islam and Christianity to an international readership. Rather than limiting the discussion to comparative theology or academic study of religion, the volume addresses ethical questions with broader implications for peace, coexistence, dialogue, and the common good.
The final edition was published under ISBN 9781778990649 and is now available through a growing number of international book retailers and distribution platforms. In the United States, the book can be found through platforms and retailers including Walmart, Bookshop.org, ThriftBooks, Amazon, Strand Book Store, and AbeBooks.
Its availability through Walmart represents one indication of the volume’s entry into the broader international retail market. With a large physical and online retail presence across multiple countries, the company provides the book with access to a substantial international consumer base.
The international distribution of Consonance of Islam & Christianity in Positive Global Ethics provides a new platform for a scholarly conversation between Muslim and Christian thinkers and makes their shared exploration of global ethics accessible to readers beyond the academic and religious communities in which the project originated.
