There is a significant connection between ecumenism and world peace. Anyone who fells a sense of obligation toward the world community, who takes seriously the fagility of all human arrangements, who has glimpsed the possibilities of technical and human error, must know what is at stake here. He must know that the threat to peace and the need to regulate it hav long since burst through the dimensions of the specific, regional conflict, and have become global political problems on which the survival of us all depends." This is a large trade paperback not a hardcover.

Text: English, German (translation)
This book is based on a lecture series designed to increase understanding of four of the world's great religions. In particular, theologian Kung and his colleagues, all professors in their respective disciplines, hope to make non-Christian religions accessible to Christians. For each tradition, four basic issues are presented (e.g., "Man and Salvation in Hindu Religions," "Jesus in the Qur'an") and background information given. Kung then provides an enlightening Christian response that is critical, self-critical, and mutually clarifying. The result is highly recommended to libraries for its forthrightness, honesty, and reflection of the best contemporary religious scholarship.
