Encountering religious pluralism
The Challenge To Christian Faith And Mission
Summary of Encountering religious pluralism
Press Reviews
Netland examines the critical issues that evangelicals must address if they are to grapple effectively with these emerging religious realities. He concludes with a proposal for 'an Evangelical Theology of Religions' that is constructive and hopeful.'
In this wide-ranging study, Harold Netland examines pluralism historically, theologically and philosophically. As he rightly points out, the Christian faith emerged in a religiously plural context, but Western Christendom tried to insulate itself against other religions. Over the past three centuries modernity has eroded much of this protective intellectual and cultural structure that Christendom had devised and the future of Christian faith in the West promises to be in an environment of vigorous pluralism.
