National Jewish Book Awards Finalist for the Anthologies and
Collections Award, 2012. Two of the most pervasive aspects of
modern Jewish life are interaction with people of other faiths and
exposure to their beliefs to a degree unknown in the past. Jewish
thinking regarding other religions has not succeeded in keeping
pace with the contemporary realities that regularly confront most
Jews, nor has it adequately assimilated the ways in which other
religions have changed their teachings about Jews and Judaism. Many
Jews who grapple with Jewish tradition in the contemporary world
want to know how Judaism sees today's non-Jewish other in order to
affirm itself. Re-examining Jewish tradition, they seek guidance in
understanding their interfaith relationships in the light of a
Jewish religious mission. Jewish Theology and World Religions
advances this conversation, exploring critical issues that Jews and
Jewish thought face when relating to Christianity, Islam, Buddhism,
and Hinduism. It also analyses the philosophical issues raised by
pluralism, non-exclusive approaches to religious truth, and
appreciating the religious other. The contributors to this volume
represent a range of disciplines and denominations within Judaism
and share the conviction that articulating contemporary Jewish
views of other world religions is an urgent objective for Judaism.
Their essays show why formulating a Jewish theology of world
religions is a priority for Jewish thinkers and educators concerned
with reinvigorating Judaism's contribution to the contemporary
world, and how it coheres with maintaining Jewish identity and
continuity.
