The Jesus Dialogues

"If interreligious dialogue is a conversation that must be marked by deep respect, intellectual humility, honesty in acknowledging both similarities and differences among religions, and openness of mind and heart to truth wherever it is found, Brennan Hill's book is an exemplary and sure guide, as it exhibits these qualities to an uncommon degree. Embodying the fruits of lifelong research and writing, The Jesus Dialogues is an excellent book for undergraduate courses and adult formation seminars on world religions. For deep scholarship, sympathetic understanding, and accessible style, Hill's book is unrivalled."

--Peter C. Phan, The Ignacio Ellacuria Chair of Catholic Social Thought, Georgetown University



"Hill has come up with an interreligious pedagogy that is totally imaginative but at the same time creatively instructive. In these delightful dialogues between Jesus and the world's wisdom teachers, we are drawn into the conversation and end up learning not only about but from other religions. Hill illustrates beautifully that friendship is the most promising basis for dialogue."
