Friendship and Ways to Truth

The death of a friend is a source of pain and grief for anyone. For David B. Burrell it is also a source of reflection on the role of friendship in our ongoing pursuit of truth. In this small but penetrating book Burrell offers five essays that explore friendship as the bond that links us to the religious traditions we embrace in our search for truth. Known for his many and lasting contributions to philosophical theology Burrell here makes a definitive statement for that field while also continuing the cross-cultural discussion among Christians Muslims and Jews.
