This is a clear and detailed guide to the complex question of the relationship between Christianity and other world religions. The first chapter sets the problem: the new experience of religious pluralism in today's world and the vision many people have of a new kind of unity and dialogue. Chapters 2 to 4 then survey popular attitudes to this pluralism: all religions are relative, all are essentially the same, or all have the same origin in the human psyche. Chapters 5 to 7 analyse the traditional Christian approaches to other religions: the conservative evangelical view that Christianity is the one true religion, the mainstream Protestant view that salvation is only in Christ, and the Roman Catholic view that there are many ways but one norm. Chapter 8 describes the new `theocentric' model for Christian encounter with other faiths as pioneered especially by John Hick. While the author finds this the most promising, he realizes the threat it seems to pose to what believers feel as the very foundation of their faith: the centrality of Jesus Christ. The rest of the book therefore seeks to allay their fears. In many ways this book, from the Roman Catholic tradition, runs parallel to Alan Race's recent Christians and Religious Pluralism. However, the treatment of individual theologians is broader, and most importantly, Paul Knitter seeks to avoid the ultimate relativism at which Alan Race arrives. Here is an invaluable contribution to one of the most important debates of our time.

The religious landscape of the United States has changed dramatically in recent decades. How are Christians relating to their Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, and other new religious neighbors? Using local examples, The Faith Next Door covers the gamut of Christian responses to America's multireligious reality. The book also examines how the events of September 11, 2001 have shaped Christian approaches to believers from other faiths, from engaging in dialogue to hoping for conversion. Here Christian theology meets the multireligious real world, with multiple results suggestive of national trends. The Faith Next Door will appeal to Christians from all denominations and perspectives who seek models for relationships in the diverse contemporary context. It will also inform non-Christian readers and general observers of trends in American religion about the variety of local Christian responses to other religions.

In A Multitude of Blessings, Cynthia Campbell clearly and engagingly explores the ancient but timely issue of religious diversity, drawing on both biblical and theological sources. Analyzing Old Testament texts, she provides a close reading of several key passages that express God's steadfast love for humankind and show that diversity is part of God's overall plan for human culture. In the New Testament, she turns to several influential texts and familiar passages to which Christians have often pointed as proof of the exclusive truth or superiority of Christianity over other religious traditions. By putting these texts in their respective contexts and by examining the roles of religious "others" in the New Testament, Campbell demonstrates that God's grace extends far beyond a chosen people and that knowledge of God is not limited to Christian believers. Campbell ultimately affirms that religious diversity is part of God's providential care for humankind. Therefore, she urges Christians to be modest in their claims to truth, to be open to interfaith dialogue, and to work with others for justice and peace.

This book uses Karl Barth's theology as a resource for Christian theology of religions. For this purpose, it examines Barth's theology under the doctrinal aspects of revelation, revelation and religion, theological anthropology and election, addressing questions such as the possibility of and context for revelation, Barth's understanding of religion, the theological approach to the human being, and soteriology. Furthermore, Barth's thought is put into conversation with other approaches in the field of theology of religions, notably Karl Rahner's inclusivism and John Hick and the pluralist paradigm. It is shown that Barth's theological system as a whole can serve as a resource for the Christian approach to and interaction with those of other faiths or no faith at all. This is achieved through maintaining a balance between the commitment to the own faith and the openness to the sovereignty of God impacting the whole of creation. Central to Barth's approach is the challenge to the Christian community to see their presuppositions challenged in the most unexpected circumstances, while looking beyond human categories to affirm the dignity bestowed upon all of humanity through the divine Yes in the person Jesus Christ. Barth's theology with its starting point in the person of Jesus Christ is advocated as a framework for the members of the Christian community as they live alongside those with a different faith from their own.

The doctrine of the Trinity is one of the most distinguishing marks of Christian faith. This is the first book to present an overview of the role of the Trinity in Christian theology in relation to religious pluralism and other religions. Approaching the study of the relationship between Christianity and other religions from the perspective of the Trinity, this book surveys all the major contributions to the topic by leading theologians at the international and ecumenical level. Veli-Matti Karkkainen points to future challenges and areas in need of development, examining in detail a case study exploring how the Catholic Church has responded to Islam from the perspective of the Trinity. Students of theology and religious studies will find this an invaluable text for courses that discuss religious pluralism and Christianity's relation to other religions. Pastors, other Christian workers, and academics will also find it a handy reference tool for teaching and further study.

How do we relate to the muti-religious context we live in? To help discover an answer, this book will serve you well. The New Testament does not conform neatly to any of the modern attempts to define the Christian approach to other religions, argues Basil Scott. He confronts the questions: what does the New Testament tell us about religions and what is its approach to those who were Gentiles (that is people who were racially and religiously not Jewish), and their beliefs and practices? He focuses his attention on the evidence provided by the New Testament itself, and especially the attitude of its writers to the religions of their times. There is no book like this, which surveys all that the New Testament has to say about religions.
