The aim of this article is to present an ongoing research project focusing on art as a holistic, personal and creative arena for inter‐religious dialogue and to offer analytical reflections on such a renewed and integrated research agenda. Its findings, from a case study with literature, suggest that creative forms of dialogue can foment a fruitful combination of practical and ethical concerns and theoretical reflections. Empirical examples are given from interviews with two authors engaged in inter‐religious dialogue: Jewish novelist Susanne Levin and the Christian playwright and novelist Eric‐Emmanuel Schmitt.
