Interfaith Relations: A Guide for the Perplexed (Guides for the Perplexed)

Interfaith Relations: A Guide for the Perplexed is a standard text for classroom use in universities and seminaries, while also appealing to a broad constituency of interested non-specialists. It incisively introduces and orients readers to the primary ways in which other religions have historically been understood in Christian theology, while then taking readers beyond such developments by considering the theological, social, and political reflections that are emerging from various forms of dialogue in practice today. Thus, the book is not only an introductory orientation to the topic; it points the way toward a constructive political theology that reflects current interfaith relations in practice.
