In arguing for interreligious friendship's possibility, the essay goes against accounts of friendship, such as that influentially articulated by Aristotle, wherein friendship's possibility is predicated on the would-be friends' sharing agreement. Instead of this, drawing on Janet Soskice's theological anthropology of friendship, it argues that friendship with the religious other is possible given that the reality of our ontological distance from the divine Godhead does not close off divine-human friendship. Finally, it suggests that this form of friendship offers important sources of spiritual and moral nourishment. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Ecumenical Studies is the property of University of Pennsylvania Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
