Dialogues, Disputes and Dreams among Jews, Christians and Muslims
About this book
In the spring of 2022 a group of Muslim, Christian and Jewish practitioners, leaders and scholars met in Toledo, Spain to discuss ways to respond to our present world-crisis of mistrust and misapprehension. This book is the result of that historic encounter. Inspired by the new approach to interreligious dialogue that has arisen from the work of Catholic popes, theologians and lay activists over the past half a century, "Dialogues, Disputes and Dreams among Jews, Christians and Muslims" seeks to lay the foundations of a new approach to dialogue between the three Abrahamic faiths. After setting out the principles of dialogue in its opening chapters, it explores the implications of that dialogue for a wide range of social and cultural spheres of influence including politics, spirituality, art and music. Containing chapters from leading scholars and practitioners, the book will be of interest to all who value the precious gift of faith in a time of social stress and challenge.
