About this Item

In the global village that our world is becoming, interacting between persons of varying backgrounds and religions is practically inescapable. As people of different religions increase their interaction the opportunities either to fall into religious bigotry or to overcome the same increase as well. How missions work within this context remains in question. This book is unique in two ways. First, it criticizes the current terms used by Christian scholars in describing their views concerning how Christians should relate to those of other religions and offers new and more useful terminology. Second it suggests the theological questions raised by the new meeting of the religions and how they may be answered from the standpoint of the Christian faith. This book jacket shows signs of minimal wear and tear and a small tear on the front cover. The book pages are clean and free of any markings and highlighting. This book weighs 1 lb 3.5 oz.
