Interreligious Learning and Teaching

World Religions

“As a liberal arts college professor who teaches Christian theology and ethics in a world religions department, I know firsthand that students benefit immensely from learning religious traditions that are not their own. Moreover, an interreligious society and world such as ours makes such study an ethical must for all citizens and members of all faith traditions. Largen's timely contribution will assist teachers and administrators to make a compelling case for the inclusion of such study in higher education and seminary settings and provides teachers with practical guidance on how to effectively implement it." —Kelly Denton-Borhaug Moravian College "Largen, Hess, and Sapp have put their finger on the leading topic in faith formation in the twenty-first century. Not only are all communities, even households, affected by the increasingly interreligious landscape of multicultural America—we still need better tools for engaging the religious other in transformative ways. This text presents comparative theology and other paradigms for interreligious engagement in an engaging and accessible manner. It's like joining a conversation already going on between Christians on how they have been learning to encounter interreligious contexts in ways that transform their own faith and the faith of those they encounter.”

Mission as Accompaniment

Evangelism & Missions

“Perhaps no one is better poised than Konkol to reinvigorate the missiological task in the postcolonial era. Grounded in his own ecclesial tradition, he presents an approach that reduces or even reverses the asymmetrical nature of the majority of Global North to Global South mission. Prophetically, he trains the gaze of the postcolonial hermeneutics of suspicion in the proper direction—not at God’s mission itself but instead straight at neoliberalism and its dangers. This is a proposal for renewed mission that restores the economy of God to its proper place as the central motivating energy for mission.”
