Rather than competing with one another over territories, converts, or claims, religions have generally come to adopt a more conciliatory and constructive attitude toward one another, collaborating in social projects and exchanging views on common religious questions. This uniquely comprehensive volume brings together a distinguished editorial team, including some of the field’s pioneers, to explore the aims, practice, and historical context of inter-religious dialogue. It explores the links between a multitude of faiths around the world, from Shinto to Mormonism, separated either by geography or by their disparate ideas and practices.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The companion examines a range of broad developments and issues including the history of dialogue, its pre-conditions, the relationship between dialogue and social action, and peace-building. It combines this with a range of specific case studies exploring interactions between faiths. These faith-groups include Christians and Confucians, Muslims and the adherents of Africa’s diverse faiths, and Jews and Hindus, amongst others. Including up-to-date commentary on the growing engagement in recent years, it explores in full the important channels of communication now open between the scholars and practitioners of the world’s religions.\u003c\/p\u003e \"\u003ci\u003eThe Wiley Blackwell Companion to Inter-Religious Dialogue\u003c\/i\u003e is a landmark accomplishment that offers a definitive map of the terrain of a robust field and its growing literature.
