Mehr und mehr wird heute de Notwendigkeit erkannt, daß es Zeit wäre für ein neues Verhältnis und Gespräch zwischen den Religionen. Gespräch aber setzt Information voraus. Ist es da nicht ein besonderer Glücksfall, daß die Bibel der Christen die Bibel der Juden mitenthält? Ist dieser Glücksfall nicht eine einzigartige Herausforderung zum Dialog zunächst einmal zwischen diesen zwei "biblischen" Religionen? Wie soll der Dialog mit weiteren religionen beginnen können, wenn er auf dem Boden des EINEN Buches, das die Grunddokumente ZWEIER Religionen enhält, nicht stattfindet? Im Verlauf der "Annährungen"—in diesem Band and die Psalmen 73 bis 106—sind mir diese Überlegungen immer wichtiger und auch hilfreicher geworden—Kurt Marti im Vorwort (from back cover)

Millions of Americans have adopted and adapted spiritualpractices and virtues from a variety of traditions. What are theylooking for? Theologian and retreat leader Beverly Lanzettabelieves that our contemporary world desperately seeks a sharedspiritual foundation adequate to meet our most pressing moral, religious, economic, and social issues.

No other text has affected women in the western world as much as the story of Eve and Adam. This remarkable anthology surveys more than 2,000 years of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim commentary and debate on the biblical story that continues to raise fundamental questions about what it means to be a man or to be a woman. The selections range widely from early postbiblical interpretations in the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha to the Qur'an, from Thomas Aquinas to medieval Jewish commentaries, from Christian texts to 19th-century antebellum slavery writings, and on to pieces written especially for this volume.

This volume shares insights into the positions of writers concerned with understanding Christianity among the world's great religious traditions. Avoiding tired labels of past debates (Exclusivism, Pluralism, and Inclusivism), Knitter suggests four different models (Replacement, Fulfillment, Mutuality, and Acceptance) that more adequately link together thirteen ways of approaching and understanding the variety of the world's religious expressions.
