A monumental collection--essential for academic and seminary
libraries and highly recommended for public libraries as well.
Library Journal An important new voice in contemporary
philosophical- theologial discourse, this book highlights a number
of issues that have been of particular concern to scholars,
religious leaders, politicians, and the general public since the
end of World War II. The contributors' purpose is to force a
reexamination of basic concerns in religion, religious beliefs, and
religious studies -- and to encourage both a reshaping of
entrenched attitudes and a continuation of meaningful dialogue
among different religious groups. To this end, they address a wide
range of topics, from the perplexing problem of relativism and the
issue of feminism in the church to questions of Muslim identity and
Hindu-Christian dialogue. Divided into two principal parts, the
book begins by exploring a broad spectrum of religious issues.
Norbert Samuelson analyzes theism and atheism in Western religious
philosophy, Ernest Stoeffler focuses on the parallel trends of
conservatism and liberalism in American Protestantism; Gustavo
Benavides examines religion and modernization in Latin America.
Additional papers address a universal theology, Christianity and
sociopolitical thought, postwar neo-Confucian philosophy, among
other topics. In the second section, the contributors turn to
interreligious dialogues, examining the ways in which various
religions have attempted to forge deeper mutual understanding --
often in the face of rising sociopolitical tensions. Taken
together, these essays offer an eloquent testimonial to the
critical importance of interreligious dialogue in contemporary
society. Religious Issues and Interreligious Dialogues will be an
important addition to the reading list for studies in world
religions, contemporary religious issues, and comparative religion.
