This book is an extended, critical reflection on the state of interrelgious dialogue in its modern version.While there has been some important writing in the field of comparative theology, there has been no extended, critical reflection on the state of the discipline in its modern version, its strengths and problematic areas as it grows as a serious theological and scholarly discipline. This work of young scholars in conversation with one another, remedies this lack by, as it were, taking the discipline apart and putting it back together again.The volume seeks to understand how to learn from multiple religions in a way that is truly open to those religions on their own terms, while yet being rooted in the tradition/s that we bring to our interreligious study.

‘Francis Clooney has distilled in this book decades of his massive and painstaking scholarship on Christian and Hindu theologies. Lucidly written and highly accessible, "Comparative Theology" teaches us how to read sacred texts---our own and others'---with humble minds and open hearts, so that we can see both similarities and differences between our religious tradition and others'. Warning us not to take his book as a recipe for doing comparative theology. Clooney invites us to join him in developing, each in our own fields of specialization, this emerging theological discipline, of which he richly deserves to be called "the Father." "Comparative Theology" is destined to be a classic in its field.' - Peter C. Phan, Theology Department, Georgetown University, Washington DC, USA.
