About this title

From the Publisher:

Answering questions about religion and its place in our lives and our world.

From the Inside Flap:

"[T]his study uniquely suggests...a dialogical approach to the study of religion and suggests a global ethnic as a viable beginning." —William Cenkner, Katharine Drexel Professor of Religion, The Catholic University of America

"Both dialogue and a global ethic have been discussed elsewhere, but linking them together and then combining them with the study of religion is this book's genuinely distinctive achievement. This accomplishment makes a major contribution to a singularly important discussion." —Walter Conn, Professor of Theology and Religious Studies, Villanova University
