The man or woman of faith living in today's pluralist world must have a theology that will do justice to his or her own faith, and also to the neighbours' and to the differences between them. Similarly, humanists must have a theory that does justice to their own vision and also to the fact that for most of their fellows on earth the proper way of being human has been one or another of various religious' ways. Any interpretation of human history, both past and present, must take into serious account the selfconsciousness of each major part, as well as the diversity and the dynamic of the whole. This exciting book, first published in 1981 and now also available in paperback, is perhaps our world's first serious endeavour towards a theology in global perspective. Here is a wrestling with the demands of an authentic theology of the comparative history of religion.
