Talking to the Other by Jonathan Magonet

Talking to the Other by Jonathan Magonet

Suicide killings - both in America and Israel - have focused world attention on international terrorism. The involvement of people claiming that their Islamic faith justified murderous suicide action has intensified the demonization of Islam in the West, and in turn highlighted the need to understand and relate to Muslims in all their diversity. Rabbi Jonathan Magonet has long been engaged in interfaith dialogue, and in this book he explores the issues that arise with such an encounter and challenges the Jewish community to broaden its commitment to interfaith dialogue in a complex and rapidly changing world.

Church Times: 'This is a book for seasoned practitioners as well as beginners: the author has done us a great service' The Tablet '...Essential reading for anyone planning an interfaith encounter.'

Jonathan Magonet is Principal of Leo Baeck College, London - the foremost progressive Rabbinic Seminary in Europe. After training as a medical doctor, he was ordained as a rabbi, and completed his PhD in Biblical studies at Heidelberg University. He is a vice-president of the World Union for Progressive Judaism, and contributes regularly to the media both in England and abroad. Amongst his numerous books, ranging from popular theology to biblical criticism, he is the co-editor with Rabbi Lionel Blue of the three prayerbooks of the Reform Synagogues of Great Britain.
