Dr. Lucinda Mosher Edits 'A World of Inequalities: Christian and Muslim Perspectives'

As the rapporteur of the Building Bridges Seminar and coeditor of seven previous volumes generated by that dialogue, Lucinda Mosher was the logical person to edit the 8th volume in the prestigious series.

Dr. Mosher, Faculty Associate in Interfaith Studies, has been involved in this long-running Christian-Muslim dialogue effort since almost its start in 2002.

In A World of Inequalities: Christian and Muslim Perspectives, fifteen leading Christian and Muslim scholars respond to the global crisis of inequality by demanding and modeling interreligious dialogue.

This volume is described as taking “an intersectional approach, examining aspects of global inequality including gender, race and ethnicity, caste and social class, economic and sociopolitical disparities, and slavery. Essays explore the roots of these realities, how they are treated in Christian and Muslim traditions and texts, and how the two faiths can work together to address inequality. A World of Inequalities brings readers into the conversation, inviting them to engage in a similar dialogue by offering pairs of essays alongside texts for close reading. Scholars, religious leaders, and students of theology and theological
ethics will find this a useful resource to address this pressing issue.”
