In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

Acknowledgments Georgetown University hosted the seminar that this volume records with its usual generous hospitality and elegant efficiency. Particular thanks are due to the president of Georgetown University, John J. DeGioia, for all his support for Building Bridges over many years. Tom Banchoff, director of the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs at Georgetown University, has also provided essential support and in particular has made possible the creation of the Building Bridges website. Deven Comen, Paige Lovejoy, Chiaki Ota, and Shuang Wen took very helpful notes at the seminar’s group discussions. More generally, many thanks are due to all those members of the university community who made the seminar such a success. It has once again been a pleasure to work with Richard Brown and all his colleagues at Georgetown University Press. xi This page intentionally left blank ...
