After Pluralism: Reimagining Religious Engagement By Courtney Bender and Pamela Edith Klassen This collection of essays challenges the concept of pluralism, exploring how it is used to frame religious difference as a problem that can only be solved through its own norms and ideals. By examining diverse sites such as Broadway plays, Polish Holocaust memorials, and Egyptian dream interpretations, the contributors reveal the surprising ways in which pluralism shapes political and social interaction. Through their analysis, the authors question the assumptions underlying pluralism's discourse and its influence on legal decisions that shape modern religious practice. They do not simply deconstruct this theory, but instead generate new questions for engaging with the complex worlds and multiple registers in which religion operates.
