Everyday Wisdom

World Religions

“Synthesizing a field of expanding scholarship, packed with data on religious diversity, and charting strategies for engagement, Hans Gustafson's book provides a detailed road map for navigating interreligious studies. An excellent text to sharpen the scholar's understanding, shape the instructor's teaching, and introduce students to the multifarious reality of religious identities, belonging, and encounter. If there's one text you read for orientation to the field and its future, it should be Everyday Wisdom.”

Finding God among Our Neighbors

Theology

“This is the book I’ve been waiting for! No other text so brilliantly, and accessibly, introduces readers to the varieties of religious belief and practice as an introduction to Christian theology, placing the Christian theological project squarely within our interreligious landscape. For the many students who arrive in theology classrooms without prior knowledge of any faith tradition, Finding God Among our Neighbors will serve remarkably well as an introduction to Christian or comparative theology. So clearly written, it will be captivating for readers interested in reflecting theologically on our multireligious landscape. This is a wonderful text, more than highly recommended!”

Virtue in Dialogue

World Religions

“With her textured study of a women's interreligious dialogue group, Brecht offers a refreshing epistemology of religious belief attentive to how people actually believe. She allows her reader to learn not from abstract theories alone, but from these live and lively women. Through them we are introduced to the virtuous practices that might allow us to truly converse across the lines of religious difference. From them we learn the value of forming religious beliefs in interfaith contexts. By taking seriously both current epistemologies and these women's experiences, Brecht offers an epistemological theory accountable to the practical exercise of interreligious dialogue. This book is a significant contribution for interfaith studies and epistemology alike.”
