The first intellectual history of interreligious dialogue, a
relatively new and significant dimension of human religiosity "[A]
fast-paced history of interreligious dialogue . . . For those new
to the field or interested in looking at where we've been and how
we came to be here, this book is a very good place to start."-Emily
Soloff, Christian Century In recent decades, organizations
committed to interreligious or interfaith dialogue have
proliferated, both in the Western and non-Western worlds. Why? How
so? And what exactly is interreligious dialogue? These are the
touchstone questions of this book, the first major history of
interreligious dialogue in the modern age. Thomas Albert Howard
narrates and analyzes several key turning points in the history of
interfaith dialogue before examining, in the conclusion, the
contemporary landscape. While many have theorized about and
practiced interreligious dialogue, few have attended carefully to
its past, connecting its emergence and spread with broader
developments in modern history. Interreligious dialogue-grasped in
light of careful, critical attention to its past-holds promise for
helping people of diverse faith backgrounds to foster cooperation
and knowledge of one another while contributing insight into
contemporary, global religious pluralism.
