Comparative Theology: Deep Learning Across Religious Borders
“This marvelous book should stand as an invitation to many. I very much hope that it is taken up.”  (HarvardTheological Review, 1 April 2012)“In this context, Comparative Theology is a timely publication.”  (Teaching Theology, 2012)"There is much to admire in this short but insightful book - not least the background that Clooney sketches: the genealogy of the term ‘comparative theology' and the summary of various contemporary comparativists, from Raimon Pannikkar, Robert Neville and Keith Ward to a whole school of younger scholars which is beginning to emerge, especially in the United States." (The Way,1 April 2011)"It's a fascinating book, all the same. I warmly recommend it ." (Theology, 1 March 2011)"Comparative Theology will be of interest to people looking for a method for interfaith dialogue that affirms the value of one's theological commitments and could serve well as a textbook for courses exploring interfaith theological discourse." (Journal of Ecumenical Studies, 1 January 2011)"But as this volume suggests, our interreligious milieu provides a new impetus not just for learning about our neighbors' faiths but learning from them. Francis X. Clooney, S.J., is a most trustworthy guide." (The National Catholic Weekly,September 2010)"Clooney's book thus provides an extremely needful, as well as accessible, contribution to the furthering of this developing discipline, and as such it is a very valuable piece of scholarship." (American Theological Inquiry, July 2010)
