Description
With this volume, a group of scholar-practitioners of Islam, Judaism and Christianity invite readers to share in their understanding of scriptural text study and disciplined reasoning.
Grapples with questions ranging from the nature of scripture and revelation to the relevance of philosophies such as idealism, pragmatism and phenomenology.
Offers a constructive alternative to modernity, going deep into the scriptures while also drawing critically on modern philosophies and methodologies.
Shows how Muslim, Jewish and Christian believers can study, reason and work together in a way that does not compromise their religious integrity and respects others' religious integrity.
A timely publication, of interest to all those interested in interfaith dialogue or in the nature of scriptural study.
