Book Review: Inter-Religious Dialogue: the Nigerian Experience, by Prof. Murtala A. Bidmos. Abuja, Panaf Publishing 2006.161pp. ISBN 978-37049-4-X.

The title of this book is well thought out, accurate and nicely concise, but it unfortunately fails to capture and represent the contents. It will be hoped by any enlightened reader that a book on the Nigerian experience of inter-religious dialogue will not fall short of offering useful information on the journey so far in Nigeria with regards to inter-religious communication. A book containing such useful information would have provided a worthy and rewarding readership that is expected of Bidmos in his Inter-Religious Dialogue. Yet, this book is more qualified than any other in the market to shed light on at least one of the – if not major – then, at least, major peripheral factors militating against peaceful coexistence of Muslims and Christians in Nigeria.
