Dialogue : the key to understanding other religions.
Published by Philadelphia: [1977], Westminster Press, 1977
Softcover. 174 p; 20 cm (Biblical perspectives on current issues) Editor's preface, by Howard Clark Kee; foreword, by Douglas V. Steere. Contents: 1 Approaches to interreligious dialogue -- 2 In the world but not of it -- 3 It is no longer I who live -- 4 True righteousness -- 5 Freedom now! -- 6 A kingdom of priests and a holy nation -- 7 A Buddhist view of Christianity [selected from Toward the truth, by Bhikkhu Buddhadasa] -- Notes. -- From Douglas Steere's foreword: `I have often recalled a vivid moment in the final Abraham Flexner Lecture in a series that Arnold Toynbee gave thirty years ago at Bryn Mawr College. He startled several academic historians who sat near me by declaring that a thousand years from now when the history of this twentieth century of ours comes to be written, the historians would be very little interested in the episode of the conflict between communism and the nations committed to a freer polity and economic system. What they would really want to know would be what happened to both Christianity and Buddhism when for the first time in history they interpenetrated each other! Donald Swearer is seeking in this book to describe some of the factors that will play a part in one small corner of that interpenetration. In the course of this description he draws attention to its immense importance for the psyches of both of these great religions. He also explores certain ways in which this penetration can be creative, and criticizes others that will close rather than open the doors to each other.' Good in orig. green on white wrapper.
