Circling the Elephant

A Comparative Theology of Religious Diversity

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book argues that Christian theology must be done in conversation with other religions. The book integrates theology of religious diversity, comparative theology, and constructive theology by moving beyond reified accounts of â religionsâ that make interreligious learning impossible. The author proposes a new theory of the religious that celebrates interreligious learning.
