Summary:

"This book introduces the theory of interreligious resilience as a means to developing deeper and more effective interreligious engagement and resilience. Hogue and Bell advocate for interreligious resilience as the ability to learn and grow through, rather than be threatened by, 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 and ability to learn and grow through disturbances, disruptions an uncertainty. This book integrates theory and practice by situating the practical tasks of interreligious engagement in theological and social contexts. It is systemic rather than being focused on isolated interreligious issues or the practice of interreligious dialogue, and it is multidimensional, rather than being focused primarily on interpersonal interreligious encounters. This book is essential reading for all religious leaders and other community leaders working with religious people in an interreligious world."-- Provided by publisher.
