Friendship is one of the outcomes as well as conditions for advancing interfaith relations. However, for friendship to advance, there must be legitimation from within and a theory of how interreligious relations can be justified from the resources of different faith traditions. The present volume explores these very issues, seeking to develop a robust theory of interreligious friendship, from the resources of each of the participating traditions. It also seeks to feature particular individual cases as models and precedents for such relations. In particular, the friendship of Gandhi and Charlie Andrews, his closest personal friend, emerges as the model for the project.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBetter understanding of self and other, on its own, is enough reason to value highly the importance of interreligious friendship and to include this text in any contemporary canon on interreligious studies. The volume concludes with a useful eightfold shared manifesto on interreligious friendship which can also be publicly accessed at elijah-interfaith.org\/addressing-the-world\/friendship-across-religions. * Theological Studies *\u003cbr\u003eThe Elijah Institute has blessed us with an in-depth exploration of interreligious friendship from the perspective of several religious traditions. These essays are both erudite and edgy. They look deeply into religious traditions in the hope of laying down a foundation for the future of interreligious relations in a world that promises to become only more complicated. The authors search out the resources within the traditions that support interreligious friendships today and are fearless in pointing out the obstacles to such friendships also found in the traditions. This book is going to be a very valuable contribution to a global discussion. -- James Fredericks, Loyola Marymount University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword, Alon Goshen-Gottstein Overview: Introducing Interreligious Friendship: Types of Friendship, Alon Goshen-Gottstein Summary of Essays on Interreligious Friendship, Stephen Butler Murray Introduction: Friendship Across Religions—Project Overview and Synthesis, Alon Goshen-Gottstein Chapter 1: Understanding Jewish Friendship, Extending Friendship beyond Judaism, Alon Goshen-Gottstein Chapter 2: Very Two as Very One: A Response to Understanding Jewish Friendship, Meir Sendor Chapter 3: A Christian Perspective on Interreligious Friendship, Miroslav Volf and Ryan McAnnally-Linz Chapter 4: The Sacramentality of Inter-religious Friendship, Johann M.
