ABOUT THIS BOOK

A Faithful Presence celebrates the impact and very special contribution that Bishop Kenneth Cragg has made throughout his long life to the interpretation of Islam and to the religious landscape of the Middle East. It includes contributions by Sydney Griffith, David Kerr, Christopher Lamb, Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali and Jørgen Nielsen, as well as a wide range of other contributors, and marks the ninetieth birthday of a man who to so many, Christians, Muslims and others, has been an example, mentor and friend.

As Archbishop Rowan Williams comments in his greeting, Kenneth Cragg’s ‘theological engagement with other faiths, and notably Islam, is a tremendous asset at a time when wisdom in this sensitive field is so urgently needed.’ A Faithful Presence is a fitting tribute to this great man of faith and quiet presence.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Kenneth Cragg has served as both scholar and bishop in the lands of the Middle East and also held academic posts in the UK, Lebanon, Nigeria and the USA.

For many years Bishop Cragg lived and served in the Middle East, supervising the regional Anglican Churches both there and in parts of Africa. His mastery of Arabic and knowledge of the Qur'an have earned him credibility with Muslims, particularly among Islamic scholars and Imams who often invite him to deliver lectures in their conferences and seminars.

He is the author of many studies in contemporary relations between the Semitic faiths. He is an Honorary Fellow of Jesus College, Oxford, and an Hon. D.D. of the University of Leeds and former Bye-Fellow of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge.

He presently serves as Honorary Assistant Bishop in the Diocese of Oxford.
