Overview

No issue is more important, more difficult, more controversial, or more divisive for Christian theology and practice today than that of other faiths. The subject raises large theological questions about the nature of other faiths and Christian participation in the worship of other faiths. The issue of the nature and practices of other faiths is of real relevance in the West given the presence of large other faith communities in the UK. This study examines these questions by focusing on Paul's discussion of other faiths in Corinth in 1 Corinthians 8-10. It presents a fresh look at Paul's view of the worship of other faiths. It sheds light on the theological and pastoral issues raised by 1 Corinthians 8-10, and, in particular, engages with the debate on inclusivism, and offers pastoral case studies. Rohintan Mody comes from an Indian Zoroastrian background to Christianity and is the Director of the Northwest Gospel Partnership. His PhD in New Testament from the University of Aberdeen discusses the relationship between powers of evil in 1 Corinthians 8:4-5 and 10:18-22 in the context of the Pauline corpus and early Judaism.
