Scriptural Reasoning Library
Scriptural Reasoning (SR) is a practice of interfaith dialogue where Jews, Christians, and Muslims gather to read and discuss passages from their sacred texts together. Rather than debating theology or trying to convince others, participants explore what each tradition says about shared themes—like hospitality, justice, or peace—asking questions, sharing insights, and learning from one another's perspectives. It's a space for deep listening, mutual respect, and discovering common ground while honoring our differences.
