“Transformation happens in relationship, even—especially!—for the giants of interreligious theology. In Sacred Encounters, they invite you to hear the stories behind their classic texts as well as to meet new companions for your journey.”—Michelle Voss, author, Tastes of the Divine: Hindu and Christian Theologies of Emotion
“Catherine Cornille gathers the autobiographical testimonies of a generation of Christian scholars who pioneered engagement with other religious traditions, offering a rare and essential record of the lives that challenged Christian theology and reshaped Christian engagement with religious difference.”—Hans Gustafson, director, Jay Phillips Center for Interreligious Studies, University of St. Thomas
“This book shows in a wonderful way the transformative power of interreligious encounters. Through these rich examples from diverse pioneers of interreligious dialogue and comparative theology it encourages us to cross borders and to learn from other religions.” —Klaus von Stosch, Schlegel Professor for Catholic Systematic Theology, University of Bonn
An international group of Christian scholars and teachers, renowned for their pioneering work in interreligious dialogue, describe their personal encounters with Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism, Islam, Daoism, and Confucianism, sharing what they have learned and how it changed their own faith.
