The Routledge Handbook of Religious Literacy, Pluralism, and Global Engagement by
This pioneering handbook proposes an approach to pluralism that is relational, principled, and non-relativistic, going beyond banal calls for mere "tolerance." The growing religious diversity within societies around the world presents both challenges and opportunities. A degree of competition between deeply held religious/worldview perspectives is natural and inevitable, yet at the same time the world urgently needs engagement and partnership across lines of difference.

Tracking the emergence and development of this tradition over time, Dorroll examines the key themes of theology in the Turkish Republic. In doing so, he provides an important historical and conceptual map to the vast territory of modern Turkish theology.

Prescribing the Dharma : Psychotherapists, Buddhist Traditions, and Defining Religion by
This is the first comprehensive study of the surprisingly diverse ways that psychotherapists have related to Buddhist traditions. Through extensive fieldwork and in-depth interviews with clinicians, many of whom have been formative to the therapeutic use of Buddhist practices, Helderman gives voice to the psychotherapists themselves. He focuses on how they understand key categories such as religion and science. Some are invested in maintaining a hard border between religion and psychotherapy as a biomedical discipline.
