While writing my book the Islamic Mary, I came across various works on Christian-Muslim relations, in particular the groundbreaking Catholic document of Nostra Aetate which speaks about positive relations with Muslims. However, the document is silent on core issues of Muslim faith such as the Qur'an and the Prophet Muhammad. This led me to the writings of Jordan Denari Duffner who addresses these issues in her recent dissertation. I speak with Jordan about her spiritual biography, scholarship and activism.
