I've only recently discovered these although they've been out for a while, but this is a huge help for those wanting to engage in interfaith dialogue in a meaningful way.

I believe Mahmoud Ayoub is working on translating and compiling tafsir from many classical and even some modern interpreters for the entire Qur'an al-Kareem, and so far has finished the 1st 2 Surahs in Vol 1 and the 3rd Surah in Vol 2. It's a great resource for understanding the range of Islamic interpretation and for those not versed in Arabic, it's in English. Nice.

The Qur'an and Its Interpreters Vol. 1 http://www.amazon.com/Quran-Its-Interpreters-Mahmoud-Ayoub/dp/087395727X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235641929&sr=8-2
The Qur'an and Its Interpreters Vol. 2 http://www.amazon.com/Quran-Its-Interpreters-House-Imran/dp/0791409945/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235641929&sr=8-1

Hi, did u ever see the book "Journeys of the Muslim Nation and the Christian Church" by David Shenk who is a mennonite and long time missionary in Somalia and Kenya and served in The Project for Christian Muslim Relations in Africa. he is back in the USA now but the book was very helpful to me
