Interreligious comparisons have been an interesting subject for both religious individuals and academics. The language of comparison has been contested by almost all who rely upon it, from some Western scholars who started such comparisons at the turn of the twentieth century, to phenomenologists and postmodernists. This range of disparate views on the subject was probably what prompted the small expert symposium organized by the “Religious Studies and Intercultural Theology” section of the Wissenschaftliche Gesellschaft für Theologie in Berlin in May 2013. This symposium mainly “discussed Arvind Sharma’s concept of ‘reciprocal illumination’ and Arvind Sharma himself participated in the lively discussions” (ix). Interreligious Comparisons in Religious Studies and Theology includes participants in this symposium, but also contributors who were not a part of it.
