A Sacred Argument: Dispatches from the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim Encounter
Institute for Islamic, Christian, Jewish Studies (ICJS)
A Sacred Argument: Dispatches from the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim Encounter is a memoir written by ICJS founding Executive Director
Christopher M. Leighton, who retired in 2018. In this work, he recounts his friendship and collaboration with the late Rabbi Joel Zaiman, who was a driving force in the creation and work of ICJS. A Sacred Argument also addresses the sharp political, social, and religious polarization in society, equipping readers with practical and theoretical resources to engage problems that all too often break down trust, shut down honest conversations, and disrupt collaborative action. Heather Miller Rubens, ICJS executive director and Roman Catholic scholar, will lead a discussion of the book.
