The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Comparative Theology: A Festschrift in Honor of Francis X. Clooney, SJ

An incisive and original collection of the most engaging issues in contemporary comparative theology

In  The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Comparative Theology, a team of  distinguished scholars delivers a one-of-a-kind collection of essays on  comparative theology. Honoring the groundbreaking work of Francis X.  Clooney, S.J.―whose contributions to theology and religion will endure  for generations―the included works explore seven key subjects in  comparative theology, including its theory, method, history, influential  contemporary developments, and potentially fruitful avenues for future  discussion.

The editors provide essays that reflect on the  critical, theoretical, and methodological aspects of comparative  theology, as well as constructive and critical appraisals of Francis  Clooney’s scholarship. Over forty original contributions from  internationally recognized scholars and insightful newcomers to the  field are included within. Readers will also find:
Insightful  discussions of the larger implications of comparative theology beyond  the discipline itself, especially as it relates to educational programs,  institutions, and post-carceral lifeRobust promotion of the research  methods and critical thinking present in Francis Clooney’s workPractical  discussions of the most pressing challenges and opportunities facing  theological researchers todayPapers from leading contributors located  around the globe, including emerging voices from the global south
Perfect  for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of theology and  religious studies, The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Comparative Theology  will also benefit scholars with an interest in comparative religion,  interreligious studies, and interreligious theology.
