World Religions in Dialogue, Enhanced Version: A Comparative Theological Approach, Enhanced Edition

Overview In our increasingly pluralistic and globalized society, it’s not good enough to simply learn about other religions: we must learn from other religions—and their adherents. Pim Valkenberg’s World Religions in Dialogue: A Comparative Theological Approach, Enhanced Edition, provides an opportunity to do just that. Exploring the five major world religions—Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism—this text offers perspectives from both an adherent of the religion (an “insider”) and someone outside that tradition, creating a unique dialogical approach that masterfully combines scholarship with lived experience. Equipped with glossaries, questions for further research, and suggestions for experiential learning components, World Religions in Dialogue invites students to learn about world religions—and investigate their own inherited traditions—in a way that reflects the pluralistic world in which they live.
