How can the world's religious traditions engage in debate with each other within the public sphere? In this book Nicholas Adams shows the importance for theologians of Habermas'approaches to this question. The full range of Habermas'work is considered, with detailed commentary on the more difficult texts. Adams argues that rather than suspending their deep reasoning to facilitate debate, as Habermas suggests, religious traditions need to make their reasoning public, and that'scriptural reasoning'is a possible model for a public religious forum.
