Authors Meet Readers: Scriptural Reasoning: Abrahamic Inter-faith Practice (Wiley-Blackwell, 2026)

This roundtable session will feature a conversation with the contributors to the new book on the practice of Scriptural Reasoning, Maria Dakake, Tom Greggs, and Steven Kepnes. Scriptural Reasoning: Abrahamic Inter-faith Practice provides an accessible and practical introduction to a unique form of inter-faith engagement centered on shared sacred text study. Rather than minimizing deep commitments to one's own faith, this approach encourages participants to enter more fully into their own traditions while offering and receiving hospitality across religious boundaries. Focusing on the Abrahamic faiths—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—this book equips students and lay practitioners to participate meaningfully in Scriptural Reasoning (SR) groups, where members of different faiths read and reason together from their respective Scriptures.
