We are immersed in the Divine, and the whole cosmos is her body."

In this fresh-even revolutionary-formulation of Christian theology, Ninian Smart and Steven Konstantine plumb Christian and other traditions in light of our pluralistic, postcolonial context. They articulate a world view that meets stark contemporary challenges in ways surprisingly consonant with traditional faith.

In the first part the authors masterfully sketch the contemporary scene and show the crucial import of religion, religious studies, and cross-cultural perspectives in philosophy of religion. In the second part they deftly expound a powerful and compelling Christian worldview, centered in the Trinitarian life of God, often thought to be a chief obstacle to interreligious understanding.

From this fruitful collaboration of a leading scholar in the study of religion and an Episcopalian with an Orthodox theologian emerges an exciting and coherent vision for contemporary faith-and an earnest invitation to participate in the life of God.

This signal volume inaugurates the World Christian Theology series, in which leading thinkers from Africa, North America, China, Europe, India, Japan, and Latin America envision the emerging features of a truly global Christian theology.
