This book opens a new chapter in the solidarity of diverse
religions beyond religions, emphasizing the importance of
interreligous orthopraxis over loyalties to religious orthodoxy.
--Andrew Sung Park, United Theological Seminary
Bold in its assertions and in its challenges, this book is much
more than a collection of essays on an important topic. It provides
a unique glimpse into the impact of modern-day neo-liberal
capitalism in various religious, cultural, and social settings--and
how various religious traditions are responding to the challenges
posed by globalization and neo-liberal capitalism. Furthermore, it
will serve as a call to a renewed interreligious dialogue, not now
limited to comparing doctrines and rituals, but rather focusing on
a common pain and a shared hope. --Justo Gonzalez, author of The
History of Christianity
[This volume] clearly demonstrates the necessity of moving
interreligious dialogue into a liberationist context, where the
experiences of the oppressed constitute the starting point for the
dialogue. -- John T. Pawlikowski, O.S.M., of Catholic Theological
Union -- Journal of Ecumenical Studies
