- Justice and Rights is a record of the fifth ""Building Bridges"" seminar held in Washington, DC in 2006 (an annual symposium on Muslim-Christian relations cosponsored by Georgetown University and the Church of England). This volume examines justice and rights from Christian and Muslim perspectives-a topic of immense relevance for both faiths in the modern world, but also with deep roots in the core texts of both traditions.
