The challenges and changes that take place when religions move from one cultural context to another present unique opportunities for interreligious dialogue. In new cultural environments religions are not only propelled to enter into dialogue with the traditional or dominant religion of a particular culture; religions are also invited to enter into dialogue with one another about cultural changes. In this volume, scholars from different religious traditions discuss the various types of dialogue that have emerged from the process of acculturation. While the phenomenon of religious acculturation has generally focused on Western religions in non-Western contexts, this volume deals predominantly with the acculturation in the United States. It thus offers a fresh look at the phenomenon of acculturation while also lifting up an often implicit or ignored dimension of interreligious dialogue.

Interreligious Hermeneutics

"The process of discernment of truth in interreligious dialogue involves . . . combining faithfulness to one's own tradition and openness to the other, critical self-awareness and serious engagement with the teachings and practices of others, daring judgment and continuous openness to correction" (Introduction, Criteria). This collection emphasizes the importance of engaging in interreligious dialogue. It brings together scholars from different religions to address various topics, including discerning what is true and valuable in other religious traditions; engaging other religions' texts and teachings; inviting dialogue between religions over the world market and economy; and assessing the religious acculturation phenomenon in the United States.
