{{short description|Religious studies of scriptures}}
'''Scriptural Reasoning''' ("SR") is one type of interdisciplinary, [[interfaith]] scriptural reading. It is an evolving practice in which [[Christians]], [[Jews]], [[Muslims]], [[Hindus]], [[Buddhists]], [[Sikhs]], [[Baháʼís]], and members of other faiths, meet to study their sacred scriptures and oral traditions together, and to explore the ways in which such study can help them understand and respond to particular contemporary issues. Originally developed by theologians and religious philosophers as a means of fostering post-critical and [[narrative theology|postliberal]] corrections to patterns of [[modernity|modern]] reasoning, it has now spread beyond academic circles.
The claims made by some of Scriptural Reasoning's founder practitioners that they have requisite knowledge of ancient traditions of Islamic, Jewish and Christian exegesis, and furthermore, the authority to apply such traditional wisdom to correct modernist binarist or fundamentalist readings, have been strongly challenged by theologians of different faiths. The practical outworking of some Scriptural Reasoning projects have been criticised for alleged lack of parity between participating religions, and alleged instrumentalising of sacred texts for political and financial purposes.
