In a world scarred by interreligious conflict and misunderstanding, there is a great need for religious literacy. All religion teachers must promote and support it. Help your students "step into the shoes" of a person from another faith and prepare them for interreligious dialogue throughout their lives.

Teaching About Other Religions presents Church documents that address religious diversity and dialogue. Four chapters show you how to invite students to learn about Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism, respectively. Whereas the book teaches you "how to teach" the religions, the comprehensive appendix provides many resources to enhance your own religious literacy and your classroom work.
