Dr. Mohamed Bin Ali of the prestigious Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore produced an article on the role of “emotional intelligence” in Christian-Muslim relations, with a specific focus on lessons learned from Prophet Muhammad’s encounters with the Christians of Najran.

I am honored to see that he cited two of my books – The Humanity of Muhammad – A Christian View (Blue Dome Press 2020) and People of the Book – Prophet Muhammad’s Encounters with Christians (Hurst/Oxford 2021). He also cited one of my Huffington Post articles.

The article “Emotional Intelligence in Interfaith Relations – Lessons from Prophet Muhammad’s Interaction with the Christians of Najran” is freely available to download online.
