In view of our current multi-cultural setting—one which constantly exposes us to the beliefs and practices of others—this text advocates understanding other religious traditions in a way that promotes respect and engenders a deeper appreciation of one’s own faith. Speaking primarily to those in education, Kristin Johnston Largen analyzes why and how interreligious learning can be transformative for students. She not only lays the theological groundwork for interreligious study, but also offers advice on facilitating such study.
Largen’s synopsis of interreligious education and suggested action includes contributions by Mary E. Hess and Christy Lohr Sapp. Hess and Sapp provide practical commentary for implementing Largen’s approach. As a group, Largen, Hess, and Sapp create a text that extends pedagogical innovation in inspiring but practical ways.
