Early in the nineteenth century Ernst Troeltsch, the great German
liberal thinker, published the influential essay "The Place of
Christianity Among the World Religions." The question of the
relation of Christianity to other religions is every bit as
relevant as and perhaps even more urgent today than it was then.
Beginning with a consideration of the biblical perspective,
Veli-Matti K?rkk?inen surveys the variety of diverse answers
proposed by teachers of the church down through the ages. His
reviews include the writings of Justin Martyr, Irenaeus and Clement
of Alexandria, as well as those of Augustine, Luther, Calvin, and a
broad selection of later Protestant and Catholic thinkers. He
completes the historical section with an astute look at the radical
challenges of Enlightenment and classical liberalism and the
emergence of the fulfillment theory of religions. The bulk of
K?rkk?inen's work provides a detailed and comprehensive survey of
major confessional movements and theologians' opinions on the
contemporary scene. K?rkk?inen provides succinct and trenchant
descriptions of a wide diversity of theologians, including Karl
Barth, Hendrik Kraemer, Paul Althaus, Karl Rahner, Hans K?ng,
Jacques Dupuis, Gavin D'Costa, Paul Tillich, Wolfhart Pannenberg,
Lesslie Newbigin and M. M. Thomas, as well as Sir Norman Anderson,
Clark Pinnock, Amos Yong, John Hick, Stanley Samartha, Raimundo
Panikkar, Paul Knitter, Millard Erickson, Harold Netland and Vinoth
Ramachandra. An Introduction to the Theology of Religions is an
indispensable guide for anyone seeking to grasp and work their way
through the full range of alternatives offered in answer to the
question, What is the relation of Christianity to other religions?
