Reviews

Written by leading religious scholars, the 27 articles in this book offer both a broad overview of important issues (e.g., relativism, feminism, conservatism, liberalism, and sociopolitical and moral problems) and a discussion of interfaith and intra-Christian dialogue. All the articles are good, and some truly outstanding; and though a few are specialized in nature, as a whole they do an excellent job of placing the material in philosophical, historical, and social context. A monumental collection; essential for academic and seminary libraries and highly recommended for public libraries as well.
