In today's pluralistic culture many people, Christians and non-Christians alike, are searching for the meaning of life but feel confused by the labyrinthine multiplicity of religions in the world.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
A very fine book. Although it is written by a scholar with decades of experience in theological discourse and ecumenical dialogues, it is very readable for the beginner. Starting with prehistoric religious ideas, and progressing with continual reference to and comparison with Christianity, the book spans the major religions of history. In my opinion, it does an excellent job balancing respect for and learnedness in non-Christian beliefs, but conviction and knowledge in Christianity as well. It avoids the extremes of relativist pluralism and vituperative condemnation. A superb place to start to place Christianity within the framework of other world religions. T.F. M.St. Oxon., Theology
