This comprehensive volume brings together a distinguished
editorial team, including some of the field’s pioneers, to
explore the aims, practice, and historical context of interfaith
collaboration.
* Explores in full the background, history, objectives, and
discourse between the leaders and practitioners of the
world’s major religions
* Examines relations between religions from around the world,
moving well beyond the common focus on Christianity, to also cover
over 12 major religions
* Features a wealth of case studies on contemporary
interreligious dialogue
* Charts a long-term shift away from a competitive rivalry
between belief systems, and a change in focus towards the more
respectful, cooperative approach reflected in institutions such as
the World Council of Churches
* Includes up-to-date commentary on the growing dialogue of
recent years, written by some of the leading figures working in the
field of interfaith discourse
