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.
