 /\n\n‘God beyond God’ across Muslim and Christian Theology\nKhalil And
 ani (Harvard\, Khalil_andani@mail.harvard.edu)\n\nThe Islamic metaphysics 
 of Abu Yaqub al-Sijistani and the Christian systematic theology of Paul Ti
 llich employ similar if not identical arguments in establishing the theolo
 gical position that God transcends the domains of essence-existence and ca
 usation. Sijistani and Tillich each resort to special method of discourse 
 to make adequate statements about God. Both thinkers seek to establish a c
 oncept of “God beyond God” in relation to the theological views preval
 ent in their respective intellectual contexts.\n\n“A Universal Capacity 
 to Hope: The Negative Contrast Experience as a Starting Point for Christia
 n-Muslim Dialogue”\nKate Mroz (Boston College\, mrozka@bc.edu)\n\nThere 
 has been much focus on Karl Rahner’s anonymous Christian as a Catholic r
 esource for interfaith dialogue. I propose that an often neglected\, but l
 ess theologically problematic resource\, can be found in Edward Schillebee
 ckx’s notion of the negative contrast experience as a universal phenomen
 on. Putting Schillebeeckx in dialogue with Muslim thinkers\, Seyyed Hossei
 n Nasr and Amina Wadud\, I intend to demonstrate how the negative contrast
  experience can heal tensions between Islam and Christianity by demonstrat
 ing the inherent capacity in all human beings to protest injustice and env
 ision a better world through the use of a vibrant religious imagination.\n
