The Enlightened World Foundation

Inter-religious dialoguethe journal of ecumenical studies (jes), now named The dialogue institute and continuing to do business as The journal of ecumenical studies, was formed in 1964 as The first peer-reviewed journal in The field of interreligious dialogue. Born out of The ecumenical spirit of vatican ii, jes began with an emphasis on dialogue among diverse christian traditions. Its focus quickly broadened to christian-jewish-muslim dialogue and soon thereafter to dialogue among a wide array of religious traditions. The jes helps create and build an international forum for interreligious scholarship. Together with The outreach work of The dialogue institute, jes continues to support, stimulate, and broaden The community of scholars and activists engaged in interreligious work throughout The World.
