Chichester, UK: John Wiley & Sons, 2013; Daniel S. Brown, Jr., ed., A Communication Perspective on Interfaith Dialogue: Living within the Abrahamic Traditions. Plymouth, UK: Lexington Books, 2013; Daniel S. Brown, Jr., ed., Interfaith Dialogue in Practice: Christian, Muslim, Jew. Kansas City, MO: Rockhurst University Press, 2013. These three volumes represent fifty individual contributions to the topic of interreligious dialogue. In this essay I will concentrate on providing a flavor of the approach taken in each volume and, where possible, on those contributions which relate closely to the study of Islam and Muslims. I will discuss the three titles in the order they have been cited above and then offer a short conclusion. The Wiley-Blackwell Companion to Inter-Religious Dialogue represents a useful introduction to both the theoretical and the practical issues raised by interreligious dialogue as well including a number of case studies of interreligious dialogue. Ten chapters comprise the focal topics of part 1 and seventeen chapters comprise the case studies of part 2. The topics covered by the chapters are quite wide ranging and show a good deal of originality in that they do not feature widely in the extant interreligious dialogue literature. For example, in part 1 there is a chapter on art and interreligious dialogue and another on interreligious worship; and in part 2, of the various possible religion combinations, there are chapters on Shinto-Buddhist dialogue and Confucian-Jewish dialogue. All of the chapters of part 2 give some space to outlining the history of the interreligious relations which they discuss and all (with one exception) are acknowledged to be written from one side of a relationship rather than the other. Turning to some of the chapters of the volume we can begin by noting Leonard Swidler’s history of interreligious dialogue in chapter 1.
