"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"--

This is the next volume of the Building Bridges Seminar. As is always the case, Power--Divine and Human: Christian and Muslim Perspectives comprises pairs of essays by Christians and Muslims which introduce texts for dialogical study, plus the actual text-excerpts themselves. This new book goes far beyond mere reporting on a dialogical seminar; rather, it provides guidance and materials for constructing a similar dialogical experience on a particular topic. As a resource for comparative theology, Power--Divine and Human is unique in that it takes up a topic not usually explored in depth in Christian-Muslim conversations. It is written by scholars for scholars. However, in tone and structure it is suitable for the non-specialist as well. Students (undergraduate and graduate), religious leaders, and motivated non-specialists will find it readable and useful. While it falls solidly in the domain of comparative theology, it can also be used in courses on dialogical reading of scripture, interreligious relations, and political philosophy.
