Produktbeschreibung

Religion / World Religions

"This book is a marvelous look at how both equality and inequality are addressed in various ways by Muslims and Christians. It provides us with not only solid foundations in both religious traditions but also an opportunity to rethink our own views and reshape our own practices in light of that encounter and dialogue."- Amir Hussain, professor and chair of theological studies, Loyola Marymount University

In this volume of the Building Bridges Seminar, fourteen leading Christian and Muslim scholars respond to the global crisis of inequality by modeling interreligious dialogue. A World of Inequalities takes an intersectional approach, examining aspects of global inequality including gender, race and ethnicity, caste and social class, economic and sociopolitical disparities, and slavery. Essays explore the roots of these realities, as well as how they are treated in Christian and Muslim traditions and texts, and how the two faiths can work together to address inequality.

A World of Inequalities brings readers into this conversation, inviting them to engage in a similar dialogue by offering pairs of essays alongside religious texts for close reading. Scholars, religious leaders, and students of theology and theological ethics will find this book to be a vital resource to address these pressing issues.

Lucinda Mosher is the rapporteur of the Building Bridges Seminar and coeditor of seven previous volumes generated by that dialogue. Concurrently, she is Hartford Seminary's Faculty Associate in Interfaith Studies and an affiliate of its Macdonald Center for the Study of Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations. She holds a doctor of theology degree from the General Theological Seminary (NYC).
