But its meaning and import are still being debated. How is this field distinct from, yet similar to, other fields, such as religious or theological studies? What are its signature pedagogies and methodologies? What are its motivations and key questions? In other words, what is the shape of interfaith and interreligious studies, and what is its distinct contribution? These questions are the driving force behind this anthology.\u003ci\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e–\u003ci\u003eEboo Patel, Jennifer Howe Peace, Noah J.
