This valuable overview of interfaith discourse covers the relations between many of the world's religions, combining depth of historical perspective with detailed case studies. It features considered analysis by some of the pioneers of interreligious dialogue, providing authoritative context to today's high-profile efforts at collaboration between religions. Reviewing the interaction between faiths as diverse as Islam and Confucianism, the companion charts the long-term shift away from competition between rival belief systems and towards the more respectful, cooperative approach. It also offers analyses of some of the critical issues in interreligious dialogue: the role of monks and of women in dialogue, its relationship to peacebuilding and social action, and its expression in ritual and art.
This comprehensive volume brings together a distinguished editorial team, including some of the field's pioneers, to explore the aims, practice, and historical context of interfaith collaboration.
