Beacon Press Interfaith Leadership A Primer
Book SynopsisA guide for students, groups, and organizations seeking to foster interfaith dialogue and promote understanding across religious linesIn this book, renowned interfaith leader Eboo Patel offers a clear, detailed, and practical guide to interfaith leadership, illustrated with compelling examples. Patel explains what interfaith leadership is and explores the core competencies and skills of interfaith leadership, before turning to the issues interfaith leaders face and how they can prepare to solve them. Interfaith leaders seek points of connection and commonality—in their neighborhoods, schools, college campuses, companies, organizations, hospitals, and other spaces where people of different faiths interact with one another. While it can be challenging to navigate the differences and disagreements that can arise from these interactions, skilled interfaith leaders are vital if we are to have a strong, religiously diverse democracy. This primer presents readers with the

Beacon Press Sacred Ground Pluralism Prejudice and the Promise
Book SynopsisA “thought-provoking, myth-smashing” exploration of American identity and a passionate call for a more tolerant, interfaith America (Madeleine Albright, former Secretary of State) There is no better time to stand up for your values than when they are under attack. Alarmist, hateful rhetoric once relegated to the fringes of political discourse has now become frighteningly mainstream, with pundits and politicians routinely invoking the specter of Islam as a menacing, deeply anti-American force. In Sacred Ground, author and renowned interfaith leader Eboo Patel says this prejudice is not just a problem for Muslims but a challenge to the very idea of America. Patel shows us that Americans from George Washington to Martin Luther King Jr. have been “interfaith leaders,” illustrating how the forces of pluralism in America have time and again defeated the forces of prejudice. And now a new generation needs to rise up and c

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Christianity and World Religions
Book SynopsisAn engaging and accessible introduction to Christianity's relationship with other world religions, addressing the questions of why the reality, and vitality, of other religions has become a challenge, and showing how Christianity is equipped to deal with religious plurality at both the doctrinal and social level. Timely and accessible, this book tackles the question of why the reality, and vitality, of other religions has become a challenge for Christianity Makes a decisive contribution to debates about the clash between Islam and the West, arguing that the major threat to religious freedoms come from secularism, and that Islam and Christianity both have the resources to develop a vibrant and pluralist public square; one informed by intellectual rigor and debate Considers the wider issue of how modernity has defined religion', and provides a substantial critique of secular ways of controlling religions Shows how Christianity is very welTrade Review“All in all, D’Costa should be commended for writing an excellent book. This work is a wonderful contribution to the conversation regarding Christianity and non-Christian religions. I highly recommend it for all persons interested in the theology of religions, as well as any Christian looking for new ways to understand the possibility of salvation for non-Christians.” (The International Journal of Public Theology, 1 December 2012) "I warmly encourage readers in each to take it up and read." (One in Christ, July 2010) "For a generation which is reasserting its Catholic identity, this thesis may serve a valuable purpose, calming the anxieties of those who, admirable, have managed to maintain an interest in the salvation of non-Christians yet are as hard put to win converts as their more pluralist co-religionists." (The Way, January 2010) "His gazetteer of these regions at the edge of the eschatological map is fascinating. The closing pages are as perceptive a meditation on what the dereliction of the cross can and cannot mean as we might expect to find in a first-rate book devoted entirely to that subject."

ATF Press Science and Religion in a Postcolonial World:
Book SynopsisThis book explores several issues in the emerging field of science and religion which are of common interest to different religions. The main idea underlying this book is that modern science poses challenges shared by religions. As such, discussing them in an interfaith setting is expected to offer new perspectives to those issues. The first of four parts of the book addresses issues which often have not been discussed in the science and religion discourse - issues around what may be termed 'customisation of sciences'. A form o of such customisation is known as the ideas of the Vedic science, and Islamic science. The secnd part discusses science and the sacred from Islamic and Christian perspectives. Similarly, the third part takes up those perspectives in discussing religious resonse to new theories in cosmology and biology. The book ends with an article about the care of the earth, and the creation of sustainble global community, which is proabbly today's biggest challenge for both religion and science.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Die Religion des Imperium Romanum: Koine und
Book SynopsisWelchen Einfluss hatte die Ausbildung des Imperium Romanum auf die Religionsgeschichte des dadurch integrierten Raumes? In einer Reihe von Fällen unterstützt religiöse Kommunikation die neuen Herrschaftsstrukturen, Rom kann sich hier Mechanismen zunutze machen, die schon in hellenistischer Zeit ausgebildet wurden. Der überraschende Befund der hier vorgelegten Untersuchungen reicht aber weiter: Die Diffusion von religiösen Zeichen und Praktiken wie die Ausbildung universaler Züge in den regionalen Kulturen wie der römischen Religion im besonderen legen es nahe, von einer 'Koine', von der Religion des Imperium Romanum im Singular zu sprechen. Diese Koine findet weder an den administrativen Trennlinien der Provinzen, an den Rändern ethnischer Gruppen noch an unterschiedlichen Überzeugungen und Gottheiten eine strikte Grenze, sie umschließt Kleinasien wie Nordafrika, den Donauraum wie Griechenland und Italien. In dieser Koine agieren Intellektuelle und religiöse Spezialisten, Architekten und Heilssucher. Zugleich ist, bei aller Verbreitung und Strukturähnlichkeit, die religiöse Vielfalt nicht zu übersehen. Es existieren tiefgreifende Unterschiede, die zu Konfrontationen führen. Akzeptanz und Repression, Toleranz und erzwungene Homogenität stehen nebeneinander, lokale Pluralität und gewalttätige Konfrontation lassen sich nachweisen. Historisch spannen die Beiträge in deutscher, englischer und französischer Sprache einen Bogen vom zweiten Jh. v. Chr. bis zum 4. Jh. n. Chr.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG An 'Open-Ended Distinctiveness': The Contemporary
Book SynopsisInsofar as the twentieth century has often been referred to as 'the ecumenical century', the twenty-first seems poised to become known as 'the century of World Christianity'. Into this situation, the present study seeks to show the ongoing relevance of Wolfhart Pannenberg's ecclesiological and ecumenical proposals and, in doing so, finds that his eschatologically-oriented and historically-rooted emphasis upon an 'open-ended distinctiveness' is exactly the kind of corrective that the emerging theological paradigm of World Christianity needs if it wants not only to stay contextually 'open-ended', but remain 'distinctively' Christian in outlook and character as well. Towards that end, the book begins with the story of ecclesiology's definitional expansion (from the time of the Reformation to now) before tracing the biographical and ideational roots of Pannenberg's overall programme. The study then proceeds by outlining the main contours of Pannenberg's ecclesiology and ecumenism, especially as such pertain to World Christianity. In this regard, several facets of Pannenberg's thought are highlighted for consideration, including his understanding of 'the church as sign of the kingdom', his doctrine of 'participation in Christ', his reassertion of the church's missionary task, his (underdeveloped) 'personalist' and 'social' thought-structures, his (ironically relevant) 'Constantinianism', his (directly relevant yet abstract) notion of 'creative love', and his views concerning contextualization and the ecumenical potential of the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed of 381. While much that is here developed serves as a healthy corrective for an emerging theological paradigm that is still maturing, some surprising critical insights arise that also flow the other way.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Gnade als trinitarisches Sein: Bruce McCormacks
Book SynopsisKarl Barth is known as the "Church Father of the 20th Century". However, its legacy is controversial in Europe, especially in North America. Here the so-called neo-orthodoxy still dominates the Barth reception today. Bruce McCormack, in contrast, shows that Barth had been a dialectical and critical theologian since 1919. This Barth analysis is the prelude to his constructive Barth reception, in which he shows that Barth's emphasis on the divine election of humanity is incompatible with Barth's concept of divine freedom. McCormack then worked out the prolegomena, Christology and also the doctrine of the Trinity of his own theological draft, which Barth ultimately left behind.
