Book Summary
In Africa as elsewhere, many scholars of religion are involved in both the study of religions and engaged in the field of dialogue. But what is the relationship between these two domains? Does the engagement in dialogue illegitimately interfere with the commitment to sound research? Should the study of religions be bound to a scientific ethos that furthers the principle of dialogue--or would this turn religious studies into an ideological endeavor? Is dialogue possibly a crucial aspect of a future history of religions, especially in the context of Christian-Muslim relations in Africa? These are some of the issues addressed in this volume.
