Nostra Aetate, Non-Christian Religions, and Interfaith Relations “Nostra Aetate was widely recognized as transformative by people of diverse faith but was also received, in some circles, with indifference. This volume rediscovers its relevance in the light of the changes in attitudes and practices in interreligious relations augured, or confirmed, by the Council of Vatican II. Written by scholars for the benefit of debating with other scholars, they also stimulate reflection among practitioners.” —Tarek Mitri, President, St. George University, Beirut, and former Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lebanon “This significant new collection provides fresh insight into the many ways the Second Vatican Council’s Decree on Non-Christian Religions, Nostra Aetate, has transformed the relationship between Catholic Christians and the Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist communities around the world. Highly informative reading for anyone seeking to understand the world of interfaith relations today.” —Catherine E. Clifford, Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology, Saint Paul University, Ottawa, ON, Canada
