Journal of Interreligious Studies

Forum for interreligious discourse, learning, and leadership.

More specifically, the Journal seeks to:

- Feature articles on cutting edge research and scholarship taking place at theological seminaries and universities.

- Promote innovative ideas and methodologies for inter-religious work to ensure that best practices are shared and replicated.

- Express challenges facing religious communities and openly discuss inter-religious disputes and their possible solutions.

- Provide a means for religious leaders to engage in inter-religious work and learn about traditions other than their own.

- Utilize the increasingly "global" nature of religious communities to promote tolerance both within and beyond the United States through the increased use of online tools for dialogue.
