Scriptural Reasoning and the Meeting of Abrahamic Faiths: An Aesthetic Politics of Religions
Seeking to find a new way of meeting between Abrahamic traditions, Scriptural Reasoning has established a unique dynamic. This unique dynamic centres on meetings that are based on friendship rather than consensus, wisdom rather than propositional knowledge or binary thinking. Such virtues are not without problems. This lecture reflects on how the results of Scriptural Reasoning, and the insights gleaned from the meetings, can be passed on to the Abrahamic communities and the wider public. It will focus on the aesthetics of Scriptural Reasoning and its performance; and it will suggest that the meetings of scholars or 'representatives' around their texts constitute a 'classic' which through vicarious performance can affect the wider public - an aesthetic politics of religions.
