The Abraham Model of Multicultural Integration: Ger and Toshav
Files
Description
This book explores the philosophical, legal, and theological roots of Western multiculturalism, that is, the encounter and coexistence of different cultures within a liberal society. Rather than concerning themselves with the particulars of cultural dialogue, the authors of this volume go deeper and question the very reality of “multiculturalism” itself. As a whole the volume devotes attention to the origins of human nature, arguing that regardless of how different another person or culture seems to be, universal human experience discloses what it means to be human and to relate to others and to God. The contributors represent different cultures and faith traditions but are united in friendship and in the conviction that the Christian faith enables an authentic approach to long-standing debates on multiculturalism. Contributors: Massimo Borghesi, Francesco Botturi, Marta Cartabia, Carmine Di Martino, Pierpaolo Donati, Costantino Esposito, Stanley Hauerwas Antonio López, Francisco Javier Martínez Fernández, John Milbank, Javier Prades, David L. Schindler, Angelo Cardinal Scola, Lorenza Violini, Joseph H. H. Weiler.
