There is still resistance in Christian institutions to
interreligious dialogue. Many feel that such a practice weakens
Christian faith, and promotes the idea that Christianity is merely
one among many different religious options. When it comes to higher
education, there is the fear that both college and seminary
students will "lose their faith" if they are invited to study other
religious traditions from a positive perspective. Unfortunately,
this attitude belies the current culture in which we live, which
constantly exposes us to the beliefs and practices of others.
Kristin Johnston Largen sees this setting as an opportunity and
seeks to provide not only the theological grounding for such a
position but also some practical advice on how both to teach and
live out this conviction in a way that promotes greater
understanding and respect for others and engenders a deeper
appreciation of one's own faith tradition. Largen's synopsis of
interreligious education and suggested action includes
contributions by Mary Hess and Christy Lohr Sapp. Hess and Sapp
provide practical commentary regarding the successful
implementation of Largen's proposed approach.
