Reviews
“This book extends the usual western oriented discussion of religions to encompass a broad canvas of issues, concerns, and perspectives. It provides a real snapshot of the complexities, promises, and new avenues opened up by interfaith dialogue in very different contexts and perspectives. It will be helpful to both the novice and the expert , which is quite a rare achievement. I commend it.” (Gavin D'Costa, Professor of Catholic Theology, University of Bristol, UK)
“Fifty years after Vatican II, the doors opened to dialogue with other religions by the council documents remain at the vanguard of how Christians ought to approach and interact with others in a religiously diverse world. Our Roman Catholic and other friends in this book show how interfaith dialogue is now a global phenomenon to be engaged in multiple directions and at various levels. In a world of wall-building and militarization, we need to lift high these models of Christian commitment that witness relationally in a pluralistic world.” (Amos Yong, Professor of Theology & Mission, Fuller Theological Seminary, USA )
"Unique in its scope and depth, Interfaith Dialogue engages a broad spectrum of international scholars and religions as no other book has. Only someone with Edmund Chia's vast experience and knowledge in this field could have produced such a volume. It is both an excellent and comprehensive textbook as well as a resource for advanced scholars." (Michel Andraos, Professor, Department of Intercultural Studies and Ministry, Catholic Theological Union, USA)
