This book features reflections by scholars and practitioners from diverse religious traditions. It posits that the global challenges facing humanity today can only be mastered if humans from diverse faith traditions can meaningfully collaborate in support of human rights, reconciliation, sustainability, justice, and peace. Seeking to redress common distortions of religious mis- and dis- information, the book aims to construct interreligious common ground ?beyond the divide?.
Organised into three main sections, the book features sixteen conceptual, empirical, and practice-informed chapters that explore spirituality across faiths and cultures. Chapter 1 delineates the state of the art in relation to interfaith engagement, Chapters 2?8 advance theoretical research, Chapters 9?12 discuss empirical perspectives, and Chapters 13?16 showcase field projects and recount stories and lived experiences.
Comprising works by scholars, professionals, and practitioners from around the globe, Interfaith Engagement Beyond the Divide: Approaches, Experiences, and Practices is an interdisciplinary publication on interreligious thought and engagement:
- Assembles a curated collection of chapters from numerous countries and diverse religious traditions;
- Addresses interfaith scholarship and praxis from a range of interdisciplinary perspectives;
- Comprises interfaith dialogue and collaborative research involving authors of different faiths;
- Envisions prospects for peace, interreligious harmony in diversity, and a world that may be equitably and enduringly shared.
The appraisal of present and future challenges and opportunities, framed within a context of public policy and praxis, makes this interdisciplinary publication a useful tool for teaching, research, and policy development.
