Reviews
"""These chapters show that the Companion is not just a status quaestionis of the established theory and practice of interreligious dialogue: it actually tries to contribute to its theoretical and practical development."" (Journal of Empirical Theology, 2014) ""In summation, Cornille has served up what must surely establish itself as one of the core reference texts in any serious library on interreligious dialogue, encounters, and relations."" (Journal of Religious History, 3 September 2014) ""Instructively, the volume's impressive breadth and scholarship serve to orient readers to the future and its possibilities rather than to an alleged final word on a given dialogue. Every library and student in this and related disciplines should hold a copy."" (Religious Studies Review, 16 June 2014) ""Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners."" (Choice, 1 February 2014)"
