Out of long involvement with adherents of many religions, Shenk dares to assert that one can be profoundly respectful of people of other faith traditions and still retain the integrity of one's own faith. -- from the Foreword by Wilbert R. Shenk Can we respect other religions and still view Christ as normative for all? Yes, says Calvin Shenk, Professor Emeritus of Religion at Eastern Mennonite University. How? Answers are not simple. However, biblical perspectives on religions provide reliable starting points for the journey. And placing Christ at the center of the quest yields clarity amid complexity. For Christians, candid commitment to the uniqueness of Christ is to be accomplished by the integrity of Christ. This leads to loving witness that includes truly dialoguing with persons committed to other religions. 'Who Do You Say That I Am?' assesses contemporary theologies of religious pluralism as well as several of the world's major religions, yet remains accessible to all thoughtful Christians. Illuminating. Fair to other religions while uncompromising in its focus on the uniqueness of Jesus Christ. -- Myron Augsburger Eastern Mennonite Seminary Couples a scholarly mind with wholehearted affirmation of Christ. A seminal study, exploring the intersections of Christology and missiology in the context of world religions. -- Richard Showalter President, Eastern Mennonite Missions
