This book is the first greater attempt to construct a dialogical theology from a Jewish point
of view. It contributes to an emerging new theology that promotes the interrelatedness of
religions in which encounter openness hospitality and permanent learning are central. The
monograph is about the self and the other inner and outer own and strange about borders and
crossing borders and about the sublime activities of passing and translating. Meir analyses
and critically discusses the writings of great contemporary Jewish dialogical thinkers and
argues that the values of interreligious theology are moored in their thoughts. In his view
interreligious dialogue supposes attentive listening humility a critical attitude towards
oneself and others a good amount of self-relativism and humor. It is about proximity
dialogical reading engagement and interconnectedness.
