Compassion and Respect

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Compassion and Respect is an extraordinarily timely and important study of the most controversial and divisive sexual, social, theological issues of today, including LGBTQ rights. In language accessible to the general public, Mawhinney masterfully creates a middle ground for an informed and compassionate dialogue in our secular, pluralistic world.”

Interreligious Heroes

World Religions

“Interreligious Heroes demonstrates the power of religion to bridge, heal, and affirm unity. The heroes featured—from all religions—are a sign of how the message of religion can address the challenges of the day. It is an invitation for believers of all faiths to follow in their footsteps in order to create a more harmonious world, affirming the pursuit of wisdom, spirituality, and peace as our ultimate common quest.”

Sharing the Book

World Religions

“Religious pluralism is a major issue globally and domestically. The Children of Abraham (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) have had a long and at times contentious history influenced by theologies of proselytism. Sharing the Book provides an important and challenging discussion and perspective on past realities and future possibilities.”

The Islamic Mary

World Religions

“Younus Y. Mirza's The Islamic Mary is an outstanding book that will be welcomed by Muslims and Christians alike. Mirza's well-written, well-documented, and engaging book provides a multifaceted and in-depth study of the significant role that the Virgin Mary plays in the Qur'an, Muslim history, tradition, scholarship, and Islamic art.”
