Essays in Honour of Hans Ucko


Editors:

Interreligious Dialogue is facing new challenges and consequently taking new directions in today’s world. People of all religions are challenged to rexamine and re-interpret their religions in such a way that they become motivating forces for peace and non-violence.


Should such a task of reconstruction be an intra-religious exercise and thus merely limited to an in-house conversation? Or, should it be done in the company of and in conversation with people of religions other than one’s own? The authors of this volume belong to a group of theologians and religious thinkers who opted for the latter. They offer here a set of essays where people of scholar-practicioners of religions, such as, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism engage in a hermeneutical task that intentionally re-interprets their own traditions with a profound awareness of the presence of “the other”.
