A rich collection of essays that capture the wisdom and insights of interreligious engagement by eminent scholars, both Catholic and Protestant—a must-read for students and scholars in religious and theological studies.

J. Paul Rajashekar, United Lutheran Seminary

Almost sixty years after the conciliar declaration Nostra Aetate inaugurated a new era in interreligious relations, the importance of dialogue and exchange between traditions is as great as ever. Over the last few decades, theologian Leo Lefebure has worked tirelessly for greater interreligious understanding, starting from his own Catholic roots, yet always remaining open to the elements of truth present in non-Christian religions. This volume honors Leo Lefebure’s legacy and vision by bringing together seventeen scholars, whose contributions echo and amplify his search for wisdom across the range of Abrahamic and dharma traditions. Ranging from textual analysis to constructive speculation and pastoral reflection, these essays simultaneously instruct, challenge, and inspire.

Christian Perspectives on Transforming Interreligious Encounter is a magnificent volume, graced by expert and dedicated reflections on encounter as best practiced now and as moving forward in our century. Together, these essays on interreligious learning and dialogue create a fitting tribute to Leo Lefebure, who has always exemplified such learning and dialogue, sharing his wisdom with students and friends across the globe. The opening poem by Leo’s brother, plus Peter Phan’s closing tribute to Lefebure’s living and searching wisdom, plus Lefebure’s own concluding response perfectly close the circle: from the person and priest and scholar to his many academic and dialogical contributions, and in the end, personal testimonies to his lifelong commitment to interreligious wisdom and love.

Francis X. Clooney, SJ, Harvard Divinity School

This is a beautiful, informative, and instructive collection of essays written by top scholars and edited by Peter C. Phan and Anh Q Tran to honor the work of Leo Lefebure. These rich and enlightening essays engage in interreligious encounters and the religious other to provide depth and gravity to this important area of study in an increasingly globalizing world. This illuminating book can be adapted as a textbook to be used in classrooms, study groups and in faith communities.

The incredible breadth, depth, and richness of this work in different areas of religious pluralism and interreligious dialogue certainly make it second to none in the field. It is a veritable feast that nourishes and fills the mind and soul of anyone interested in interreligious learning and dialogue, much like the achievements of the scholar it celebrates! May this "feast" be offered as a powerfully nourishing pedagogical tool in years to come to everyone engaged in various fields related to religious pluralism and diversity.
