How                 can they confront the painful conflicts in their history and                 overcome theological misconceptions? For more than twenty                 years, Professors Mary C. Boys and Sara S. Lee have explored                 ways that Catholics and Jews might overcome mistrust and                 misunderstandings in order to promote commitment to religious                 pluralism.  \u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003eAt its best, interreligious dialogue                 entails not simply learning about the other from the safety of                 one’s own faith community, but rather engaging in                 specific learning activities with members of the other                 faith—learning in the presence of the other. Drawing upon                 examples from their own experience, Boys and Lee lay out a                 framework for engaging the religious other in depth. With                 vision and insight, they discuss ways of fostering                 relationships among participants and with key texts, beliefs                 and practices of the other’s tradition.  \u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003eIn this groundbreaking resource, they                 offer a guide for members of any faith tradition who want to                 move beyond the rhetoric of interfaith dialogue and into the                 demanding yet richly rewarding work of developing new                 understandings of the religious other—and of one’s                 own tradition.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- amazon-buylink --\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eWe earn a commission for purchases made through the following links.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/159473254X\/ref=nosim?tag=tpcecomm-20\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\"\u003eshop for this title at Amazon\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- \/amazon-buylink --\u003e\u003c!-- bookshop-buylink --\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/book\/9781594732546\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003eshop for this title at Bookshop.org\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- \/bookshop-buylink --\u003e","brand":"Mary C.
