This volume is based on the belief that both the ecumenical and interfaith movements are looking for new orientations for their future. The forces of globalization, communications revolution, and massive population movements challenge some of the theological assumptions and presuppositions on which they were built. The entry of deep and divisive religious sentiments into the public space and the rise of militant forms of religious expression call on the interfaith movement to move beyond traditional forms of dialogue; the challenge is to enter into a deeper engagement on the purpose and role of religious traditions in society. The impasse facing these movements can only be overcome by new orientations as they look to the future. This volume is not specifically on this problem. However, the collection of essays included in this volume, although first given as lectures or written as articles, traces past developments, identifies the challenges these movements face today, and suggests fresh theological moves to regain the initiatives to bring human communities closer together. ~Amazon… (más)

An intelligent, thoughtful and well-informed series of essays on the issues involved in inter-faith relationships (from a Christian/World Council of Churches point of view). Ariarajah doesn't present us with readymade answers, but he sets some of the questions in a perspective that is not only very personal, but also keeps the larger picture firmly in sight. Anyone who deals with people of a different faith would benefit from reading this.
