This book presents a correspondence between two friends who
disagree about how to answer the question, "What does it mean to be
a Christian?" Crosby argues that Christians understand themselves
as hearing a definitive word of revelation spoken by God and
intended for all human beings. But Betty sees Christianity as one
of several options, usually the preferred way for those born in the
faith, but no more unique or special than Hinduism or Buddhism. It
is a debate over the kind of initiative the Christian God takes, or
does not take, toward human beings. Throughout the debate Crosby
alleges that Betty's God is a very finite god, an all-too-human
god, and for that very reason is something different from the God
venerated by Christians, while Betty maintains that his theism
remains within the Christian orbit and is a much needed corrective
to a religion with exclusivist tendencies.The debate between the
two friends is presented here in the form of a correspondence they
conducted over a period of two years (and did not originally intend
for publication). It has undergone very little editing and
revision; the authors have wanted to preserve the spontaneous give
and take of their exchange. Together they have produced a work of
philosophical dialogue that is unusually fruitful in its ability to
clarify some fundamental issues of religion.
