Power: Divine and Human
Georgetown University Press (Verlag)
978-1-62616-729-2 (ISBN)
This new book goes far beyond mere reporting on a dialogical seminar; rather, it provides guidance and materials for constructing a similar dialogical experience on a particular topic. As a resource for comparative theology, Power: Divine and Human is unique in that it takes up a topic not usually explored in depth in Christian-Muslim conversations. It is written by scholars for scholars. However, in tone and structure, it is suitable for the non-specialist as well. Students (undergraduate and graduate), religious leaders, and motivated non-specialists will find it readable and useful. While it falls solidly in the domain of comparative theology, it can also be used in courses on dialogical reading of scripture, interreligious relations, and political philosophy.
Lucinda Mosher is the assistant academic director of the Building Bridges Seminar; faculty associate in Interfaith Studies, Hartford Seminary; and Center for Anglican Communion Studies Fellow at Virginia Theological Seminary, Alexandria, Virginia. David Marshall is the World Council of Churches programme executive in interreligious dialogue and cooperation; academic director of the Building Bridges Seminar; and research fellow of the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs at Georgetown University.
