The notion of Interreligious Studies signals a new academic perspective on the study of religion, characterized by a relational approach. Interreligious Studies defines the essential features of interreligious studies compared with alternative conceptions of religious studies and theology. The book discusses pressing and salient challenges in interreligious relations, including interreligious dialogue in practice and theory, interfaith dialogue and secularity, confrontational identity politics, faith-based diplomacy, the question of interfaith learning in school, and interreligious responses to extremism.

Interreligious Studies is a cutting-edge study from one of the most important voices in Europe in the field, Oddbjorn Leirvik, and includes case study material from his native Norway including interreligious responses to the bomb attack in Norway on 22nd July 2011, as well as examples from a number of other national and global contexts

Expanding discussions on interreligious dialogue and the relationship between religions in new and interesting ways, this book is a much-needed addition to the growing literature on interreligious studies.

Industry Reviews

"It is likely to be a landmark text ... providing much for scholars and advanced students to reflect upon, while also being accessible to both serious undergraduate and lay readers ... [It] is likely to be core reading for any involved in the broad field of interreligious studies for a good time to come. It may also be observed that this book is indicative of a growing portfolio of texts in interreligious studies being published by Bloomsbury which is surely a good sign." --Norwegian Journal of Theology
