Summary:	"After twenty-five centuries of rapid human evolution, dialogue has now come to be a word and concept of daily use in the media and a theme of discussion all over the world. In this current period of our human history, the centuries-long struggle for survival and our belligerent confrontation with each other is being replaced by a new era of collaboration in dialogue. The most intriguing aspect of this new dialogue is that the interfaith conversation has extended worldwide within the past fifteen years. Ultimately, this new conversation has resulted in efforts towards a corroborative dialogue between the world of faiths and the political world. This book's aim is to sketch this striking movement in its philosophical and religious evolution and expression."--BOOK JACKET.
