World Religions in Dialogue: A Comparative Theological Approach

With more than twenty years of teaching and research experience, Pim Valkenberg is an advocate of combining book learning with experiential and service learning as methods of teaching about religious others. World Religions in Dialogue models this beyond-the-book understanding of the four major non-Christian world religions through insider and outsider perspectives and analysis of sacred text excerpts by Christian scholars and scholars of the Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, and Jewish religions. Enhanced with glossaries and full-color photographs throughout, World Religions in Dialogue also encourages experiential learning through its thought-provoking questions for discussion and further research.
