      abstract = {This book calls attention to ways of fostering dialogue  among members of different religious traditions in an era  of cultural and religious pluralism. To achieve this, the  author analyzes the results of an ethnographic study of  Ihievbe, a town in Midwestern Nigeria that is religiously  pluralistic. Emphasis is given to hospitality and  friendship--two key relational, cultural, philosophical,  and theological virtues--as tools for constructing healthy  interreligious dialogue that is relevant for our times. A  critical study is done on the importance of these two  dialogical virtues in the religious expressions of Roman  Catholicism, Islam, and Ihievbe Traditional Religion.  Preference for ethnographic studies is based on stressing  the relevance of context in articulating useful practices  of interreligious dialogue. Finally, the book articulates  ways the fruits of interreligious dialogue can be  celebrated in the liturgical rituals of each religion,  especially the three religions that are addressed here.},
