Infos

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.

* Explores in full the background, history, objectives, and
discourse between the leaders and practitioners of the
world's major religions

* Examines relations between religions from around the world,
moving well beyond the common focus on Christianity, to also cover
over 12 major religions

* Features a wealth of case studies on contemporary
interreligious dialogue

* Charts a long-term shift away from a competitive rivalry
between belief systems, and a change in focus towards the more
respectful, cooperative approach reflected in institutions such as
the World Council of Churches

* Includes up-to-date commentary on the growing dialogue of
recent years, written by some of the leading figures working in the
field of interfaith discourse

Rezensionen

"These chapters show that the Companion is not just a status quaestionis of the established theory and practice of interreligious dialogue: it actually tries to contribute to its theoretical and practical development." (Journal of Empirical Theology, 2014)

"In summation, Cornille has served up what must surely establish itself as one of the core reference texts in any serious library on interreligious dialogue, encounters, and relations." (Journal of Religious History, 3 September 2014)

"Instructively, the volume's impressive breadth and scholarship serve to orient readers to the future and its possibilities rather than to an alleged final word on a given dialogue. Every library and student in this and related disciplines should hold a copy." (Religious Studies Review, 16 June 2014)

"Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners." (Choice, 1 February 2014)
"The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Inter-Religious Dialogue is a landmark accomplishment that offers a definitive map of the terrain of a robust field and its growing literature. But the internationally recognized experts gathered herein do far more than report on the already known. This treasure trove of essays opens onto new vistas and poses vital questions that must be answered as scholars venture into terra incognita. Comprehensive, authoritative, creative and cutting-edge -- this is a must read collection for beginners and experts alike."
--John J. Thatamanil, Union Theological Seminary
