About the Book

In our pluralistic world, it's not sufficient to simply learn about other religions: we must learn from them. World Religions in Dialogue: A Comparative Theological Approach, Enhanced Edition, provides an opportunity to do just that. Exploring the five major world religions--Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism--this text offers both insider and outsider perspectives on each religious tradition, creating a dialogical approach that combines scholarship with lived experience. Equipped with glossaries, research questions, and suggestions for experiential learning, World Religions in Dialogue invites students to study world religions--and investigate their own inherited traditions--in a way that reflects our pluralistic world. Pim Valkenberg is an ordinary professor of religion and culture in the School of Theology and Religious Studies at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.

Review :
"Pim Valkenberg's World Religions in Dialogue is an excellent introduction to help students of Christian theology better understand other religious traditions and to deepen their understanding of their own Christian traditions." --Amir Hussain Loyola Marymount University "The unique feature of Pim Valkenberg's World Religions in Dialogue is in providing an 'insider's,' as well as an 'outsider's," perspective on five major religious traditions of the world, toward a deeper appreciation of the complexities of these traditions, as well as of their underlying common themes that call for ongoing dialogue. This is a very insightful approach highly suited for use in college courses and appealing for general readers." --Ruben L. F. Habito Perkins School of Theology Southern Methodist University "World Religions in Dialogue is that unique textbook which combines competent introduction, accessibility, and a thoughtful dialogue of insiders and outsiders in conversation. It will be a much-appreciated text for the introductory course on world religions, showing both the what of religions and the how of learning religions in an ongoing conversation." -Francis X. Clooney, SJ Parkman Professor of Divinity Director of the Center for the Study of World Religions Harvard University
