Overview

Students of theology live in a world defined by interreligious dialogue. This theology text prepares students for the real task of understanding and articulating their Christian beliefs in a religiously and culturally diverse world.

Concentrating on the anchoring subjects of God, creation, and humanity, she explores these loci in the broader context of interreligious dialogue with Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, and Islam to better understand the Christian tradition.
