PEMIKIRAN WALEED EL-ANSARY TENTANG A COMMON WORD DALAM PERSPEKTIF METAFISIKA PERENNIAL
Abstract: The discourse of
“the Common Word” between us and you have initiated a series of seminars
involving world religious institutions. Theological implications of common word
become prevalent discussion. Fundamental questions that arise are: “When both
Islam and Christianity claim to have received the revelation of God, then what
does that mean that the word of God has become a book? Or transformed into the
image of Jesus? “However, it does not mean that such matters can simply be
brought into the realm of theological studies, because it will lead to a
polemic and highlight the differences rather than the pure spirit of faith.
Theology will only hold us to understand the main doctrines that had been
circling around each religious tradition. Therefore, this article, that
explores the idea of Waleed el-Ansary, is presented as an effort to understand
the “Word of God” within Islam’s and Christianity’s perspective, so as
religious people, we all get the meaningfulness of life or even salvation.
