"Trial lawyer Mark Lanier presents the claims made by the world's great religions, discusses their histories, and cross-examines their witnesses (their scriptures and traditions) to determine whether their claims are worthy of belief. With his keen legal mind and methodical style, he provides a careful comparative study, highlighting key truths he finds in each religion even as he offers critiques. Treating each perspective on its own terms and weighing the worldviews for consistency and livability, Lanier assesses evidence for and against belief systems with criteria for what constitutes sufficient proof."--publisher description.

"Understanding other faiths is essential not just to interreligious dialogue, but also to grasping one's own faith. Covering world religions including Atheism, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Daoism, Christianity, and Islam, Douglas Groothuis creatively uses a single sentence for each one as a way to open readers to their depth and complexity"--

The emergence of the field of interreligious studies is emerging as a response to critical issues within our religiously plural world. Religious conflicts, large and small, continue to plague our society, as the challenges of navigating religious difference emerge in daily encounters among people who would like to get along in the public square that they fashion together. These challenges unfold within families, congregations, college campuses, workplaces, communities, media, and cyberspace. This volume offers a comprehensive introduction to interreligious studies. Providing an overview of the history, terms, and characteristics of the field, Rachel Mikva explores the ethical, philosophical, and theological foundations for pluralism. She also presents guidelines and case studies that demonstrate how interreligious understanding and solidarity can be achieved. Designed for use in undergraduate and graduate courses, the volume also will be useful to medical doctors, social workers, police officers, corporate managers, and others whose work requires multi-cultural competence.

Comment un évangile, en apparence centré sur la petite communauté des « élus » et hostile à ceux qui n'en font pas partie, peut-il servir les dialogues interconfessionnels d'aujourd'hui ? Souvent taxé d'antijudaïsme – à cause sans doute du rôle ambigu qu'il attribue aux « Juifs » dans le récit de la Passion –, on accuse également le quatrième évangile d'être peu oecuménique, focalisé sur la seule communauté johannique, et d'attacher tant d'importance à la foi en Christ qu'il rendrait vains tous rapports avec d'autres appartenances religieuses. Il n'en est rien, pourtant. De tels jugements ne résistent pas à un examen rigoureux du texte johannique. Il fallait la science et la précision d'Yves-Marie Blanchard pour nous montrer, à partir du texte original grec, comment on peut dépasser ces préjugés. Vu l'importance des dialogues d'aujourd'hui – judéochrétien, oecuménique, interreligieux –, il s'avère essentiel de relire attentivement l'évangile selon Jean, afin d'en manifester la pertinence au regard de ces enjeux. Il y va de la crédibilité et de la cohérence théologique de ces trois démarches autant indispensables que complémentaires. Prêtre du diocèse de Poitiers, agrégé de lettres classiques et docteur en théologie, professeur honoraire de l'Institut catholique de Paris, Yves-Marie Blanchard a longtemps participé au Groupe des Dombes et a dirigé l'Institut supérieur d'études oecuméniques. Expert reconnu en exégèse johannique, il est l'auteur de nombreux ouvrages, dont Qu'est-ce que la vérité ? Une lecture de l'évangile selon saint Jean, aux Éditions du Cerf

Jesus wird als messianischer Sohn Josefs interpretiert, der an der römischen Macht scheiterte und dadurch eine einmalige Bedeutung in einem unabschließbaren messianischen Prozess annimmt. Das Motiv des messianischen Sohnes Josefs, das die jüdische Überlieferung kennt, deutet den Messias als einen gesandten Menschen, der von der imperialen Gewalt bezwungen und getötet wird. Es vermeidet den hohen Anspruch des herrlichen messianischen Sohnes Davids, der Vollendung gebracht hätte – diese blieb nach Jesus aus –, sowie die im Heidenchristentum entstandene Gott-Mensch-Idee, die einen Widerspruch zu allen Messiasvorstellungen bildet und den Monotheismus des Judentums auflöst. Es bindet jedoch die christlichen Gemeinschaften grundsätzlich an die Basisgeltungen des Judentums. Mit dieser Arbeit über Jesus, Josefs Sohn, wird ein neuer, heute unbekannter Weg angebahnt, der sich auf judenchristliche Motive beziehen kann und diese zeitgerecht zu vermitteln versucht.

"In der christlichen Theologie geht es grundlegend um Relationalität. Wie denken Menschen über Gott? Wie reflektieren sie über sich und andere in der Gottesperspektive? Beziehungen werden geknüpft, austariert und nehmen in verschiedenen Praktiken Form an: Gastlichkeit und Dominanz, Neugierde und Abgrenzung, Erkennen und Fremdheit."
