Interreligious Resilience: Interreligious Leadership for a Pluralistic World


Add your own review!

Overview

This book introduces the theory of interreligious resilience as a means to developing deeper and more effective interreligious engagement and resilience. Michael S. Hogue and Dean Phillip Bell advocate for interreligious resilience as the ability to grow through encounters with religious difference. They argue that rather than the capacity to endure change and return to a normal status quo, a deeper, more complex resilience is characterized by an ability to learn through disturbances, disruptions, and uncertainty. This book integrates theory and practice by situating the practical tasks of interreligious engagement in theological and social contexts. It is systemic and multidimensional, rather than staying focused on isolated interreligious issues or interpersonal interreligious encounters. This book is essential reading for all religious leaders and other community leaders working with religious people in an interreligious world.

Reviews

Grounded in the practice of interreligious resilience, this is a clarion call to collaborative action for a more socially just and environmentally regenerative world. It is an essential resource for interreligious leaders seeking catalytic ways to respond to social and economic inequality, ecological crises, religious supremacy, and ethnonationalism. We can undo patterns of religious supremacy and create resilient communities and forms of belonging sustained by creative vulnerability and interreligious engagement! * Sharon D. Welch, Author of After the Protests are Heard: Enacting Civic Engagement and Social Transformation (2019) * With a clear, concise, and innovative approach, this book charts a new and exciting vision for religious leadership. It should be widely read and discussed. * William Schweiker, Edward L. Ryerson Distinguished Service Professor of Theological Ethics, University of Chicago, USA *
