The Dialogue Comes of Age: Christian Encounters with Other Traditions
Overview
Increasingly, world religious traditions present not just an intellectual or apologetic challenge to Christians, but a daily encounter, a source of religious practices, and even live religious options. How are Christians to relate to these traditions and the neighbors and friends who live by them? This lively and engaging book is a great resource for wrestling with the new realities in their historical and theological dimensions. Theologian John B. Cobb Jr. and historian Ward M. McAfee, experts in the Progressive Christians Uniting group, have distilled the historical and existential import of both Abrahamic and other traditions—Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Native American religions—and stressed their distinctiveness and the richness they can afford Christian self-understanding. At once a practical and theological resource, the volume also includes study materials.
