Finding God among Our Neighbors

Theology

“Instead of simply highlighting similarities among the religious traditions, Largen provides valuable close-up views of particular narratives, teachings, and rituals on their own terms and enables the reader to formulate her own continuing questions about how each issue is related to Christian theology. Exhibiting both religious humility and theological courage, she confronts Christian misconceptions and problematic issues of other traditions, including, for example, idolatry, caste, jihad, and chosenness, while constructing a thorough Christian theology that seeks to learn from its neighbors.”
