How can we experience the pluralism of modern societies in a positive manner? This book presents a collection of studies by Pierre Claverie who, as a bishop, participated in the sensitive social and political debates that were agitating Algeria and was particularly exigent in all things relating to intercultural and inter-religious dialogue. His first studies are devoted to these questions how they can be successful and what is at stake. The following studies treat more concrete issues that allow us to live together in a pluralistic society and show the ways men must follow if they are to achieve peace and encourage real encounter, despite the barriers that stand between them.
