Inisiatif “Kata Bersama” (Kalimat Sawa’, Common Word) disuarakan oleh para intelektual dan ulama Islam terkemuka yang ditujukan kepada kalangan Kristiani, menyusul pidato-kontroversial Paus Benediktus XVI di Universitas Regensburg, Jerman, 12 September 2006. Isu utamanya adalah bisakah umat Muslim mencapai titik kesepakatan bahwa mencintai Tuhan dan mencintai sesama adalah keyakinan bersama? Buku “Kata Bersama”—mencakup teori dan aplikasi—mengangkat isu-isu seputar teologi komparatif Islam/Kristen dan pelbagai pandangan tentang bagaimana kedua pemeluk agama ini menjawab tantangan global bersama semisal lingkungan, pembangunan, perempuan, dan hak asasi manusia.

Apalagi di tengah krisis kemanusiaan global akibat, salah satunya, gejala radikalisme, ekstremisme, dan kekerasan bernuansa keagamaan yang kian menonjol di pelbagai belahan dunia.
