Reviews

I finished [this] book with genuine pleasure. . . . I'm sure I'll be returning to it again and again as a helpful resource. It is perhaps one of the most even-handed treatments I've ever read. The combination of history, theology, and practicality was quite appealing to me. I especially liked the 'openness and integrity' paradigm and insight that while theology of religions is not controlled by historical and political contexts they do contribute to its form and shape.--Tony Richie, Commission of the National Council of the Churches of Christ Pentecostal Studies and Liaison To Interfaith Relations
