Learning from Other Religious Traditions : Leaving Room for Holy Envy

This book brings together academic scholars from across various religious traditions to reflect on the beauty they find in traditions other than their own. They examine these aspects and reflect on how they inform and constructively assist with rethinking their own religious worldviews and practices. Each scholar investigates the various implications, questions, insights, and challenges that are generated in the process of doing so. Traditions discussed include Ásatrú Heathenism, Buddhism, Catholicism, Evangelical Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, LDS Mormon Christianity, Lutheranism, Presbyterianism, Sikhism, Sufism, Western Buddhism, and Zen Mahāyāna Buddhism. Instead of focusing only or primarily on the theory and practice of interreligious dialogue, this book presents living examples of learning from other religious traditions, identities, and persons.Author: Gustafson, Hans,editor Contributors: Gustafson, Hans,editor Binding: paperback Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Edition: Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2018 Published/Release Date: 8 Jan 2019 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Springer Nature Switzerland AG Author/Director/Artist: Hans Gustafson Dimension (cm): 210x148x13 mm Package Dimension (cm): 13x210x148 mm Item Weight (g): 298 Package Weight (g): 454
