Not illustrated. 1921 edition. Excerpt: ...is not much of a proselytizing organization. Its interest in missions has been in the form of doing good and helping on all good causes, and of reviving the life that is within these other Religions. The Rev. Dr. William E. Channing once used these words concerning other Christian denominations: "Accustomed as we are to see genuine piety in all classes of Christians, in Trinitarians, in Unitarians, in Calvinists and Arminians, in Episcopalians, Methodists, Baptists, and Congregationalists, and delighting in this character whenever it appears, we are little anxious to bring men over to our peculiar opinions." This unwillingness to make converts characterizes social settlement work in England and America. It is this which has made the Unitarian body a small one, in comparison with those more zealous and also more sectarian, and has kept it from participating in missions, so long as the main idea has been to convert people from their traditional faith to Christianity. Unitarians need to understand that, leaving out the proselytizing motive, they have a duty as followers of Christ to live out Christianity and make the Christian message known to all the brotherhood of men. Unitarianism in the old Arian form was as much missionary as was the Athanasian. The first translation of the Bible into a vernacular tongue was made by Bishop Ulfilas for the Gothic peoples, and the Gothic type of Christianity was Arian. It was also Nestorianism which in the seventh century carried the Gospel to Persia and China. It was a member of the family of Socinus who carried the Gospel in sixteenth century to Poland and Transylvania, and it was the same Socinian scholars who translated the Bible into the Polish tongue. The Unitarian Churches of Hungary are the descendants of...

From the PREFACE. This little volume consists of a series of Lectures delivered in Shanghai, China, during the early days of the Great War. They were delivered in the weekly conferences of adherents of the World's Great Religions in the International Institute of China. They were given under the auspices of the Billings Lectureship controlled by the Unitarian Association of Boston. No restriction was placed on the lecturer either in choice of topic or in its treatment. The one selected to give the lectures is an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church of China, a union organization of all Presbyterians in China. The appreciative approach to the religious beliefs, opinions and habits of other persons, peoples and races has in later years become more customary than was permissible in earlier days. This is probably the first time that the appreciative attitude has been maintained in an all-around investigation, first of four of the great non-Christian Religions of Asiatic peoples and then of religious conceptions current among Christian peoples. It is hard to say which treatment in these two divisions is harder to maintain, but probably towards those in one's own midst who hold views different from one's own. It is comparatively easier for an American Christian to evince great toleration to a great system like Confucianism, away off in Far Cathay, than to bear with a fellow countryman who holds decided and different views of his own concerning aspects of Christianity. The great religions discussed are those which are found in China. There is thus a Chinese as well as Oriental tone to the discussion. The hearers of the lectures were those who adhered to different religious Faiths. The appreciative spirit commended itself to non-Christians even more than to Christians, to Chinese more than to Westerners. Possibly complete truth cannot be reached, if the constructive and appreciative attitude alone is maintained. Perhaps truth requires that criticism be applied to everything which in one's opinion is wrong, erroneous, mistaken or even impolitic. If all this be sound doctrine, then the lecturer must appeal to the large number of critics to complete the study by their varied criticisms, while he remains content with an investigation based on appreciation of what the other man is thinking, of his beliefs, his speculations, his aspirations and his hopes. In general, it is better to think well of another than to think ill, or at least to dwell on another's good points than on his bad points. As a new translator expresses in English the words of St. Paul in 1st Corinthians, Chapter 13, "Love is never glad when others go wrong, love is gladdened by goodness, always slow to expose, always eager to believe the best, always hopeful, always patient.."..

The textbook begins with a chapter on exclusivism, inclusivism, particularity and pluralism, and one on interfaith. Each chapter explains the history, rationale and workings of the various approaches. Moreover, each is divided into sub-sections dealing with various forms of each approach, so that each may be appreciated in its individuality, i.e. the chapter on 'Inclusivism' will include sections on 'fulfilment theology' 'anonymous Christians', etc.The second part of this textbook deals with attitudes towards different faiths, considering the problems and relations that exist with Christian approaches to each. It will deal with the world's major faiths as well as primal religions and new religious movements. The introduction and conclusion will deal with some central themes that run throughout, in particular, the questions of the Trinity and concepts of salvation. In each section reference will be made to the key texts discussed in the Reader which accompanies this(9780334041155), however, the work may be read as a stand alone text.

First published in 1991, this title explores the myths and misperceptions that have underpinned Muslim-Christian relations throughout history, and which endure to the current day. William Montgomery Watt describes how the myths originated and developed, and argues that both Muslims and Christians need to have a more accurate knowledge and positive appreciation of the other religion. Chapters discuss the Qur’anic perception of Christianity, attitudes to Greek philosophy and the relationship between Islam and Christianity in medieval Europe. Written by one of the leading authorities on Islam in the West, Muslim-Christian Encounters remains a relevant and vivid study and will be of particular value to students of Islam, religious history and sociology.
