Über dieses E-Book
Hosting the Stranger features ten powerful meditations on the theme of interreligious hospitality by eminent scholars and practitioners from the five different wisdom traditions: Jewish, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist and Islamic. By gathering thinkers from different religious traditions around the same timely topic of what it means to 'host the stranger,' this text enacts the hospitality it investigates, facilitating a hopeful and constructive dialogue between the world's major religions.
