Christian-Muslim Comparative Theology of Saints

Hans A. Harmakaputra's earlier monograph explores conceptions of sanctity across Christian and Muslim traditions, focusing on how communities of the pious are formed and recognized.

Using comparative theology, the book analyzes doctrines, practices, and social roles attached to saints in both faiths, highlighting convergences and divergences.

It situates these theological reflections within broader communal and historical contexts, examining how veneration and authority function across religious boundaries.

The work contributes to constructive interreligious theology by offering shared categories and interpretive frameworks for dialogue between Christians and Muslims.
