Do you dare ask your next-door neighbor about their religion?
The U.S. is more interreligious and interconnected than ever before. This is a resource for understanding our friends, relative, and neighbors, and coworkers. How do we build relationships in a time of renewed attacks on Jews, Muslims, Asian Americans, and immigrants? Many Names for God offers thoughtful, historically and theologically-informed, practical advice on how to get along and how to learn from one another. The book addresses challenges we encounter in working with and living next to people from other traditions. It brings clarity—and humor—to complicated relationships.
