“In Encounters in Faith: Christianity in Interreligious Dialogue, Peter Feldmeier opens the discipline of comparative theology, often seen as the provenance of a few scholars with expertise in more than one religion, to a broad audience. Focusing on certain selective themes, he draws other religions into dialogue with Christianity, carefully explaining the meaning and place of a particular topic (mysticism, mediators, etc.) within a particular religion, and subsequently suggesting ways in which Christians might learn from the other. This book thus forms a welcome complement to the vast literature in both theology of religions and history of religions. It will be a useful handbook for undergraduate teaching as well as for disseminating the fruit of comparative theology and interreligious dialogue to the wider public.”
