A comprehensive collection provides guidance and deep insight from
a variety of experts in this emerging field The rapidly developing
field of interreligious studies fosters scholarship engaging two or
more religious traditions at a time. Inherently multidisciplinary,
the field brings the academic consideration of religions into
conversation with the humanities and social sciences, employing
relational, intersectional, experiential, and dialogical
methodologies as it examines the interrelationship of individuals
and groups with differing alignments toward religion. Edited by
Lucinda Mosher, The Georgetown Companion to Interreligious Studies
features an international roster of practitioners of or experts on
Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, Buddhism,
Ruism, Humanism, and African, North American, and South American
Indigenous lifeways. Each author offers a unique perspective on the
nature of this emerging discipline. This companion provides fifty
thought-provoking chapters on the history, priorities, challenges,
distinguishing pedagogies, and practical applications of
interreligious studies. Anyone who seeks a deeper appreciation of
this relatively new academic field will find it useful as a
textbook or research resource.
