"The Georgetown Companion to Interreligious Studies is a comprehensive, authoritative, creative, and cutting-edge anthology of fifty essays that, taken as a group, provide insight into (and food for further thought about) sub-categories of a field of academic inquiry that has developed rapidly in recent decades. Interreligious Studies is an academic field in which scholars deliberately draw on at least one other religion in addition to their home tradition when reflecting on worldview questions; an arena in which at least one religious discourse is involved with some other discourse. Hence, Interreligious Studies is inherently multi-disciplinary, bringing together the study of religion(s) with methodologies from the fields of anthropology, sociology, psychology, political science, history, women's studies, ecology, and more. Interreligious Studies gives pride of place to relational, intersectional, and dialogical approaches as it seeks theoretical and practical insights through the examination of how religions relate to each other, to their own internal diversity, to various social systems, to society at large. A recent assessment of Interreligious Studies programs in universities and theological schools indicates that they make wide (but not exclusive) use of comparative and critical methods; that their purposes include cultivation of religious literacy, promotion of dialogue, fostering of citizenship, and professional preparation for leadership in multireligious contexts"--

Announcing a new series: FAITH IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD This series of books explores what it means to live and worship among the many faiths unique to America's neighborhoods. Each book in the series illuminates the questions Christians have about other faiths such as Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Baha'i, Zoroastrianism, Afro-Caribbean religions, Native-American religions, Confucianism, and Shinto. Different faiths have different ideals of community, and different kinds of rules. In Belonging Lucinda Mosher explores the vocabulary of America's many religions, the theologies and rituals that create a sense of belonging, and how these religions handle life's stages--welcoming babies, rites of passage for adolescents, initiation, and conversion. Interwoven with interviews and personal stories, Belonging is intended for interfaith education of all kinds. A quick guide to each religion, a glossary, and recommended reading are included.
