Sommario/riassunto

Beyond Agreement addresses the thorny question of how to make interreligious dialogue productive when the religious differences are so



large that finding common ground seems unlikely. The book offers a way to think about interreligious dialogue that allows people to stay committed to their own truth as they have come to know it while being open to learning from other religions.

Sommario/riassunto

This report presents three case studies drawn from World Bank work in Latin America. Each of these studies - one each from Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay - illustrates the gains that can be derived from combining the use of quantitative and qualitative research methods.
