This volume presents international perspectives on interreligious
dialogue, with a particular focus on how this can be found or
understood within biblical texts. The volume is in four parts
covering both the Old and New Testaments (and related Greco Roman
texts) as well as the history of reception and issues of
hermeneutics. Issues of the relationships between religious
cultures are assessed both in antiquity and modernity In Part 1
(Old Testament) contributions range from the discussion of the
bible and plurality of theologies in church life (Erhard
Gerstenberger) to the challenge of multi-culturalism (Cornelis Van
Dam). Part 2 (New Testament and Greco-Roman Texts) considers such
things as Pagan, Jewish and Christian historiography (Armin Baum)
and the different beliefs it is possible to discern in the Ephesian
community (Tor Vegge). Part 3 provides issues from the history of
reception - including the role of Jesus in Islam (Craig A. Evans).
The volume is completed by a hermeneutical reflection by Joze
Krasovec, which draws the threads of dialogue together and
questions how we can best examine the bible in a modern,
international, multicultural society.
