The Gerald Weisfeld Lectures 2006
EDITED BY: PERRY SCHMIDT-LEUKEL, LLOYD RIDGEON
Islam and Inter-Faith Relations, is an insightful inquiry into the relationship of Islam with the World’s other religions. Both the current religious diversity and the historical relationships with the major religious traditions are examined here. In this succinct, clarifying volume, five world-renowned Muslim theologians meet with scholars of religion, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism and Buddhism to engage in a vivid dialogue.
The Muslim realm once stretched from Spain to China. Islam encountered and connected with a vast spectrum of different cultures and today is obviously an incredibly significant influence across the globe. What can Islam give to and what might Islam receive from other great faiths? What are the major points of conflict and how can these be resolved?

Each chapter follows a similar pattern of presenting an Islamic view, followed by the view of another world religion. Then both contributors to each chapter reflect on the shared values as well as the conflicting areas, looking to possible resolutions for the future.

Buddhism and Christianity in Dialogue
The Gerald Weisfeld Lectures 2004
EDITED BY: PERRY SCHMIDT-LEUKEL
The book is written for a general as well as a more specialist readership. On the one hand it introduces basic topics of Buddhist-Christian dialogue, on the other hand it opens up new ground: particularly insofar as the Buddhist and the Christian contributors all write comparatively. Each chapter is made up of a contribution from a Buddhist and then from a Christian point of view. To conclude each chapter, both authors then write together to address each others points in the previous sections and so the book is truly interactive.

War and Peace in World Religions
The Gerald-Weisfeld Lectures 2003
EDITED BY: PERRY SCHMIDT-LEUKEL
This series of lectures by eminent authors from Britain and Germany is an excellent grounding in a wide range of World Religions and their attitudes and approaches to war and peace. Split into three manageable sections, part one looks at war and peace in the Eastern Religions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Classical Chinese Thought. Part two looks at war and peace in the Abrahamic Religions, i.e. Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The final forward looking part brings themes and commonalities together in a discussion of various developments towards peace.
