Beyond the Walls by Joseph Palmisano Sj

Joseph Palmisano explores the interreligious significance of empathy for Jewish-Christian understanding. Drawing on the writings of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel (1907-1972) and Edith Stein (1891-1942), he develops a phenomenological category of empathy defined as a way of ''re-membering'' oneself with the religious other.
This work combines great originality with scholarly rigorThrough his engagement with the works of Heschel and Stein, Palmisano develops what he intriguingly calls 'an inter-religiously attuned phenomenology of empathy.' He draws on his impressive knowledge of Heschel and Stein to provide a reading that is lucid, perceptive and nuanced. Moreover, in forging a hermeneutics from empathy he makes a valuable theological contribution to inter-religious understanding. * Linda Hogan, Vice-Provost/Chief Academic Officer and Professor of Ecumenics, Trinity College Dublin *
