Reviews
In our increasingly pluralist and religiously diverse world where religion it too often a source of division or the justification for violence and extremism, Wogaman offers a much-needed resource. This accessible and highly insightful book should not only be required reading for clergy, it will also be an invaluable book for adult study groups in churches throughout the land. --Charles Kimball, Baptist minister, Presidential Professor and Director of Religious Studies at the University of Oklahoma, and author of When Religion Becomes Evil: Five Warning Signs In this book Philip Wogaman brings his vast and significant experience as a Christian pastor into dialogue with the radically interdependent world of the twenty-first century. The result relativizes all religious claims to possess ultimate truth and calls us into a new consciousness in regard to the way we contemplate God. I found this book refreshing, stimulating, challenging, and necessary. --John Shelby Spong, author of The Fourth Gospel: Tales of a Jewish Mystic This book will inspire people of all faiths and help them to look at their own faith and other faiths in a positive way for creating a better world. --Sayyid M. Syeed, National Director for the Office for Interfaith & Community Alliances for the Islamic Society of North America Professor Wogaman has given us a gift in his well-written and thoughtful approach to interfaith study. This book provides a useful paradigm for teaching comparative religion and is an excellent resource for anyone who is interested in interfaith dialogue as a means to greater self-understanding. -- M. Bruce Lustig, Senior Rabbi, Washington Hebrew Congregation This book does not seek to convert, but rather argues that Christians can and need to learn from the other religions in the world. . . . It is a well-written refreshing approach to interreligious dialogue. --Barbaral
