God Beyond Boundaries
Fruitful relationships and constructive interaction between religions have become more important than ever. But what about the issues of truth and conflicting truth claims? Is it a betrayal of one's own faith to acknowledge the truth of other religions? The current work is the first English translation of "Gott ohne Grenzen", published in 2005. In this much acclaimed study, Perry Schmidt-Leukel defends religious pluralism showing under which presuppositions Christians can accept other religions as equally valid without denying their differences. He discusses in detail how the pluralist position opens up new perspectives in Christianity's dialogue with Jews, Muslim, Hindus and Buddhists. Schm...

Faith Among Faiths
"In the twenty-first century, the meaning of non-Christian religions for Christian faith will become a central question. Are all religions, including Christianity, responding to the same transcendent truth or are religions fundamentally different? In Faith among Faiths, James Fredericks moves beyond the popular "pluralist" model of religions and explores the meaning of Christianity in light of non-Christian religions. By doing theology "comparatively," Fredericks shows how Christians can look upon religious diversity as an opportunity for enriching their own spiritual quest."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Christianity and the Religions
The Majesty and Greatness of God Unprecedented opportunities and challenges await the Christian church as it approaches the 21st century.

The current theological and missiological ferment is seen in debates about religious pluralism What is the relationship between the Christian faith and other religious traditions? Missiologist Gerald Anderson says, “No ...
The Christian and Other Religion
"Ours is an age of cultural and religious pluralism. What does this imply for Christian faith and mission? Our Lord still calls us to Go into all the world and preach...; but the going--and the world--to which this command related, needs to be seen in more than geographical terms. Christian conviction must go into the whole bewildering contemporary world with its diversity of faiths, symbols, myths, creeds, and practice; and also into the realm of indifference to all these. But how? Kenneth Cragg sketches the course of the Christian debate with other religion during the course of this century so far, and shows what he believes should be the proper stance of the Christian to those whose beliefs differ from his own. In an attitude of contemporary realism and instinctive courtesy, he seeks to penetrate patently into what others believe--and why." - Publisher
