This October, The Washington University Press will publish Encountering the Stranger: A Jewish-Christian-Muslim Trialogue edited by Leonard Grob (Fairleigh Dickinson University) and John K. Roth (Claremont McKenna College). The publisher’s description follows.

In an age when “collisions of faith” among the Abrahamic traditions continue to produce strife and violence that threaten the well-being of individuals and communities worldwide, the contributors to Encountering the Stranger – six Jewish, six Christian, and six Muslim scholars – take responsibility to examine their traditions’ understandings of the stranger, the “other,” and to identify ways to bridge divisions and create greater harmony.
