The Hope of Liberation in World Religions

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
