| Summary: | "Francis Xavier Clooney (Parkman Professor of Divinity at Harvard University) is widely considered a leading figure in comparative theology not only for his ground-breaking contribution to the development of this field, but also for being a mentor and a true inspiration to many scholars. The proposed volume aims to celebrate the remarkable career and contribution of Prof. Clooney's work bringing together for the first time a stellar cast of comparative theologians whose work has been inspired and/or influenced by Clooney's studies (including former students from both Harvard and Boston). This edited work, published as part of the Wiley Blackwell Companions to Religion series, is intended as a collection of essays in honour of Prof. Clooney as well a review on the current status and future development of comparative theology and its related disciplines (such as interreligious studies and comparative religion). Organised in seven sections, it consists of more than fifty original contributions written by international scholars at any level (from established tenured professors to promising doctoral students). The essays encompass a broad range of themes and topics: from issues of comparative methodologies and motivations to comparative pedagogy and "real-life" experience; from critical, theoretical, and methodological reflections on the field of comparative theology to cutting-edge historical research related to the field, unique exercises in comparative theology, constructive appraisals of Clooney's scholarship, and more. This unique collaborative project is expected to mark a major contribution to the academic community. More than merely a Festschrift, this volume extends the fields of comparative religion and theology while it pays homage, reflects upon, and critiques Clooney and his oeuvre"-- |
