The time has come for Christianity to relate creatively and responsibly to the other great world religions and to question how each religion can contribute to the self-understanding of the others. How this can be accomplished is described by Kenneth Cragg in this ground-breaking book. Commenting on the current state of coexistence that exists among religions, Cragg asserts that what is new in the present is their degree of mutual involvement. He illustrates how global exchanges, mobility, migration, international politics, technology, and problems of world ecology and world economy demand dialogue and an end to self-sufficiency. In separate chapters, he discusses God and Islam, Messiah and Jewry, Christologies and India, and the Buddha and the Self.
