МЕТОДОЛОГІЯ ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ ТОЛЕРАНТНОСТІ МІЖ АРАБСЬКИМ І УКРАЇНСЬКИМ СУСПІЛЬСТВАМИ

Abstract

The issue of methodology in research of tolerance between Arabs and Ukrainians, particularly, their communication in different fields of society, is rather relevant in the modern conditions of globalization. The significance of the research lies in the fact that the present stage of development of international relations between Ukraine and Arabic countries is marked by the increase of migration processes caused by military, economic, political and cultural factors. In this context, there arises the problem of inter-religious relations, which requires more profound study of religious sources with the view of acquiring objective knowledge. This method enables the formation of right outlook, which consequently leads to further tolarantization of societies. One of the methods of solving the outlined problem is the study of Christian motives in Islam with the comparative analysis of facts mentioned in the Holy Books. Particularly, the study of the stories about the birth of Jesus Christ in the Holy Book of Coran, Their comparison with the similar story in the Bible, and their interpretation bear significance in the setting of religious dialogue.
