ABSTRACT
In Chapters 6-9, I have given some indications of the cultural-religious and sociopolitical context in which Khālid’s and contributions to a modern Muslim notion of took shape. In this chapter, I will look more closely into the context of their writings from the 1950s and the 1960s, in the light of subsequent developments from the 1970s onwards. My particular focus will be shifts in Muslim and Christian identity discourses, and changes in Muslim-Christian relations in Egypt that can be identified during and after the period in focus. My investigation of the context of these authors will thus allow for some reflections on what difference their writings made on Christian-Muslim relations, if any.
