Summary

Introduction

With “different” Meir is pointing to a relationship to the self, to one’s home tradition. Ephraim Meir’s newest book, Interreligious Theology: Its Value and Mooring in Modern Jewish Philosophy, raises the question of how to construct a dialogical theology that can have a relevant role in shaping peaceful, humanistic, pluralistic cultures in different societies in our globalizing world. Drawing on Martin Buber’s dialogical philosophy, Heschel’s celebration of religious diversity, Levinas’ radical alterity, and Franz Rosenzweig’s idea of relational bridge-building, Meir contributes to pluralist interreligious theology by suggesting a method influenced by Jewish thought and values.
