Throughout the last two decades, the modern dialogue movement has
gained worldwide significance. The knowledge about its origins is,
however, still very limited. This book presents a wide range of
insights from eleven case studies into the early history of several
important international interreligious/interfaith dialogue
organizations that have shaped the modern development of
interreligious dialogue from the late nineteenth century up to the
present. Based on new archival research, they describe, on the one
hand, how these actors put their ideals into practice and, on the
other, how they faced many challenges as pioneers in the
establishment of new interreligious/interfaith organizational
structures. This book concludes with a comparison of those case
studies, bringing to light new and broader historico-sociological
understanding of the beginnings of international and
multi-religious interreligious/interfaith dialogue organizations
over more than one century. The World's Parliament of Religions /
1893 The Religioeser Menschheitsbund / 1921 The World Congress of
Faiths / 1933-1950 The Committee on the Church and the Jewish
People of the World Council of Churches / 1961 The Temple of
Understanding / 1968 The International Association for Religious
Freedom / 1969 The World Conference on Religion and Peace / 1970
The Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions / 1989-1991
The Oxford International Interfaith Centre / 1993 The United
Religions Initiative / 2000 The Universal Peace Federation / 2005
Based on these analyses, the authors identify three distinct groups
with sometimes-conflicting interests that are shaping the movement:
individual religious virtuosi, countercultural activists, and
representatives of religious institutions. Published in cooperation
with the King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz International Centre for
Interreligious & Intercultural Dialogue, Vienna.
