This book engages thinkers from different religious and humanist
traditions in response to Pope Francis's pronouncements on
interreligious dialogue. The contributors write from the
perspectives of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism,
Buddhism, and Humanism. Each author elaborates on how the pope's
openness to dialogue and invitation to practical collaboration on
global concerns represents a significant achievement as the world
faces an uncertain future. The theological tension within the
Catholic double commitment to evangelization on the one hand, and
dialogue on the other, remains unresolved for most writers, but
this does not prevent them from praising the strong invitation to
dialogue-especially with the focus on justice, peace, and
ecological sustainability.
This title was first published in 2002. Judaism, Christianity and
Islam, as Abrahamic religions, share much theological common ground
and the momentum for dialogue between them at theological levels
has greatly increased in recent decades. This book explores the
relationship between religion and the modern democratic state from
the perspective of these three monotheistic traditions. It
investigates how the three religions in dialogue might overcome
their historic antagonism as a prelude to working for the
development of the global common good. As part of the test of
religious ideals, some of the contributions bring theory down to
earth by examining the role of religion in three democratic states
with different histories - Turkey, Indonesia, India - and also in
relation to a culture of human rights. Drawing together leading
Muslim, Christian, and Jewish authors from America, Europe and
Asia, the book presents a rare collaboration of faiths and ideas to
make a contribution to studies of inter-religious dialogue and the
changing role of religion in the democratic state.

Christian Approaches to Other Faiths is divided along the same
lines as the textbook(9780334041146). In the first section,
readings are divided according to the sub-sections, providing at
least one reading for each, with those paradigms which have been
more influential, receiving most attention. Importantly a number of
readings will also be given critical of the approach in question.
The second section contains at least two readings per section, both
adopting a different way of understanding that faith. This provides
a positive and negative attitude to the faith in question, or
highlights the work of two influential commentators. While the
emphasis is on contemporary works, important historical readings
are included. A short introduction to each text means that, like
the Core Text, the work can be used as a stand alone text.

The textbook begins with a chapter on exclusivism, inclusivism,
particularity and pluralism, and one on interfaith. Each chapter
explains the history, rationale and workings of the various
approaches. Moreover, each is divided into sub-sections dealing
with various forms of each approach, so that each may be
appreciated in its individuality, i.e. the chapter on 'Inclusivism'
will include sections on 'fulfilment theology' 'anonymous
Christians', etc. The second part of this textbook deals with
attitudes towards different faiths, considering the problems and
relations that exist with Christian approaches to each. It will
deal with the world's major faiths as well as primal religions and
new religious movements. The introduction and conclusion will deal
with some central themes that run throughout, in particular, the
questions of the Trinity and concepts of salvation. In each section
reference will be made to the key texts discussed in the Reader
which accompanies this(9780334041155), however, the work may be
read as a stand alone text.
