For scholars and students of religion and theology

Examines the trend of multireligiosity in society

You will gain insights into interreligious dialogue

This book explores the evolving dialogue between religions in our global society.

The academic study of religion is undergoing great changes in response to globalization. Just as sociologists now find it necessary to think in terms of “multiculturalism,” so religion scholars and theologians today must work in the context of “multireligiosity.” Globalization is leading not only to multiethnic societies but also to plurality in religions and worldviews.

Theology and the Religions: A Dialogue offers the first sustained analysis of the trend toward multireligiosity and its implications for the study of religion. Drawing on the resources of cultural analysis, religious studies, and theology, an international slate of thirty-seven scholars explores the relation of multiculturality and multireligiosity, the need for interreligious dialogue, and the possibilities for a “theology of religions.” This groundbreaking work is supported by case studies of various religious traditions in diverse cultures from around the world.

Offering an engaging, wide-angle view of religion worldwide, Theology and the Religions makes a vital contribution to our understanding of the forces shaping the future of religious and social life.
