Book Review: God beyond Borders: Interreligious Learning among Faith Communities

Book Review: God beyond Borders: Interreligious Learning among Faith Communities ATR/97.1 158 Anglican Theological Review God Beyond Borders: Interreligious Learning Among Faith Commu- nities. By Sheryl A. Kujawa-Holbrook. Eugene, Ore.: Pickwick Pub lications, 2014. xlii + 171 pp. $24.00 (paper). What I appreciate most about Sheryl Kujawa-Holbrook’s latest book, God Beyond Borders, is its intertwining of engaging narrative and imple- mentable advice—its provision of both rationale (the thrust of the intro- duction and chapter 1) and practical strategies (the substance of chapters 2 through 7). According to Kujawa-Holbrook, “interreligious learning” is richly in- terdisciplinary. Theories and models of learning about and with religious communities other than one’s own are informed by the obvious categories of religious education, religious studies, multicultural education, and sociol- ogy, but also glean “content, conceptual frameworks, processes and theories” from other disciplines: racial and ethnic studies, peace and reconciliation studies, and public policy studies—to name but three (p. 2). Kujawa-Holbrook lays out the relationship between interreligious learning and interreligious dialogue, religious education per se, cultural competency, and the development of religious literacy. Much of chapter 1 is actually an excellent review of literature on those and related themes.
