Multireligious Reflections on Friendship: Becoming Ourselves in
Community presents a multi-religious discussion of spiritual and
ethical formation through friendship. Contributors discuss the
positive effects of friendship and some of the culturally diverse
ways that friendships develop. Friends help us co-exist in diverse
societies, live sustainably in our ecosystems, heal from trauma,
develop inner virtues, engage wisely in social action, and connect
with the divine. While friendship is a core human value, cultural
traditions have used different tools to build friendships. For
example, Indigenous communities emphasize reciprocity on the land;
Jewish traditions encourage respect for study partners; Buddhist
teachers suggest discernment in befriending; Christian texts speak
of bringing God’s love into community. The fifteen scholars
contributing to this book draw on the teachings of six different
global traditions: Indigenous, Hindu, Jewish, Buddhist, Islamic,
and Christian. Each scholar applies the tools of their
tradition—reciprocity, respect, discernment, love, and more—to
discuss how we might become our best selves in community.
