Presentation

Following strange dreams, the King of a distant land, advised by his Sage and his Jester, decides to convene the first Great Tournament of Truth. A Jew, a Christian, a Muslim, a Hindu, a Buddhist, and an atheist engage in intellectual jousts to convince the king. This book is the result of 20 years of readings, travels, and above all, encounters. The author has submitted his text to specialists and believers from each tradition to ensure the accuracy of his representation. "Interreligious dialogue is not a polite parlor discussion," asserts Keshavjee, who does not hesitate to address the historical shadows of each religion.

« Interreligious dialogue is not a polite salon discussion. »
