Few things could be more important in the twenty-first century than religious leadership that takes seriously the challenge of making space for faiths other than the leaders' own. That is what Alon Goshen-Gottstein and his fellow contributors have created in this important and impressive book. It deserves to be widely read and to become the start of a major conversation on the challenges facing the world's great religions in their relationships to one another and to the challenges of our time. --Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks In exploring the meaning of leadership in world religions and how it is exercised, the contributors to this volume open the door to a mutual exchange of experience and insight that makes way for shared wisdom, which transcends yet honors religious difference. In the polarized world in which we live, where religion is often portrayed as a source of division, a resource such as this is timely and urgently needed. --Frank Griswold, former presiding bishop and primate of the Episcopal Church
