About the book

Roberto Catalano witnessed the birth and evolution of a religious, cultural, and ethnic encounter between a seemingly unlikely pair of leaders: one Christian and the other Muslim.

In The Pact, he recounts their respective histories, which have captured the hearts and minds of millions worldwide who love and respect these two remarkable figures: Chiara Lubich, founder of the Focolare Movement, and Imam W. Deen Mohammed, who for thirty-three years led the Muslim American community.
