Reviews

In our culture of ideological division where voices compete for attention as they propagandize and polarize political and religious establishments, this engaging collection calls for authentic dialogue and civility. It also seeks to build-bridges among faith traditions in thoughtful ways that effectively transcend the divide and speak to the wider society. -- Robert H. Woods, Spring Arbor University This collection moves from the fundamentals of communication theory and interfaith dialogue to the application and challenges of those principles. Clearly it is not enough to know the doctrinal and cultural differences found in our pluralistic religious environments, one must also understand the obstacles that separate us from the other. A Communication Perspective on Interfaith Dialogue is an important contribution to breaking down the walls that hinder our progress toward peace and understanding. -- Richard K. Eckley, Houghton College
