Description
One of the biggest challenges for relations between religions is the view of the religious Other.
The question touches the roots of our theological views.
The Religious Other: Hostility, Hospitality, and the Hope of Human Flourishing explores the views of multiple religious traditions on how to regard otherness.
How does one move from hostility to hospitality? How can hospitality be understood not simply as social hospitality but as theological hospitality, making room for the religious Other on theological grounds?
What is our vision for the flourishing of the Other, while respecting his otherness?
This volume is an exercise in constructive interreligious theology.
By including perspectives of Abrahamic and non-Abrahamic traditions, it approaches these challenges from multiple perspectives, highlighting commonalities in approach and ways in which one tradition might inspire another.
