World Christianity Encounters World Religions
Posted by Mike Schneider on 04/01/2019
This is a great book, very readable. I especially like the way the authour explains why interfaith dialogue is so necessary and what is meant by it (the do’s and don’ts). He makes clear that dialogue has its basis in the Christian tradition and carefully presents how the Bible should or should not be read. Conservative Christians who take the Bible literally may not agree with him but his arguments for a contextualised reading cannot be ignored. The book is meant for lay readers such as myself although it looks like it was written for college students or those studying in seminaries. I like the introductions at the beginning of each chapter where the author gives a personal account of the topic, helping readers appreciate why he is writing on it.
