Rezensionen

(Harvard
"This marvelous book should stand as an invitation to many. I very much hope that it is taken up."

Theological Review, 1 April 2012)
(The Way,1 April 2011)
"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."
(Theology, 1 March 2011)
"It's a fascinating book, all the same. I warmly recommend it ."
(Journal of Ecumenical Studies, 1 January 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."
(The National Catholic Weekly, September 2010)
"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."
(American Theological Inquiry, July 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."

"It succeeds in a magisterial way: the book provides the first history of the discipline, exposits the approaches of its major players, discusses issues of methodology, sets directions for the development of the discipline, and carefully notes its strengths and limitations ... This book will be the standard introduction for comparative theologians. And it is a persuasive answer to anyone who thinks that comparison muddies confessional truth."

-Robert Cummings Neville, Boston University

"This will be a definitive text which introduces and exemplifies the discipline of comparative theology, as an important part of theology and the study of religions. It's an original and scholarly book, and deserves to be widely read."

-Keith Ward, University of Oxford
