Specifikacia With the Best of Intentions: Interreligious Missteps and Mistakes Mosher Lucinda
A vital contribution to the expanding field of interfaith studies and to local and national interfaith efforts, accessible for a general audience but appropriate for the classroom, With the Best of Intentions is a compelling collection of personal essays on the interfaith encounter. Such efforts are intended to build bridges of understanding: perhaps because of this focus, scholars and practitioners rarely address the misunderstandings that emerge. What happens when our attempts at engaging in, or crafting, transformative interreligious encounters fail--and what might we learn from this? This volume is an invitation to reflect on interfaith mistakes, disappointments, and conundrums, with the goal of identifying fault lines, exploring means for repair, and finding new insights.
