Reviews
But as this volume suggests, our interreligious milieu provides a new impetus not just for learning about our neighbors' faiths but learning from them. Francis X. Clooney, S.J., is a most trustworthy guide. ( The National Catholic Weekly, September 2010) Clooney's book thus provides an extremely needful, as well as accessible, contribution to the furthering of this developing discipline, and as such it is a very valuable piece of scholarship. ( American Theological Inquiry , July 2010)

I very much hope that it is taken up.” (Harvard Theological Review, 1 April 2012) “In this context, Comparative Theology is a timely publication.” (Teaching Theology, 2012) ""It's a fascinating book, all the same. I warmly recommend it ."" (Theology, 1 March 2011) ""Comparative Theology will be of interest to people looking for a method for interfaith dialogue that affirms the value of one's theological commitments and could serve well as a textbook for courses exploring interfaith theological discourse.""
