The Meaning of My Neighbor’s Faith addresses two of the most critical challenges of our time: immigration and religious diversity. The diverse group of contributors, representing a variety of religious traditions, disciplines, and methodologies, explore “the meaning of my neighbor’s faith” in the age of migration. Each author reflects on the meaning of religious traditions in the context of the unprecedented migrations of people who look and believe differently than their hosts. The volume is the work of scholars dedicated to advancing religious understanding of the debate and discussions on immigration in the light of religious diversity in America and other places in the world.
The Meaning of My Neighbor’s Faith: Interreligious Reflections on Immigration offers an original and insightful set of reflections on immigration, forced and chosen, as a defining feature of today’s society and of human self-understanding in communities large and small. Faiths old and new are respected and listened to in these pages, brought to life in a multidimensional way well-fitted to our times. Deeply imbued with interreligious sensitivities, the contributors offer social and political, cultural and religious insights that illumine the realities and significance of immigration for all wishing to understand how we live and shape human and religious communities today. -- Francis X.
