““Mari Rapela Heidt has produced a much-needed and welcome resource for undergraduate theology majors and minors whose professors require them to follow the writing style presented in the Chicago Manual of Style. I would highly recommend this book to my theology students.””

““At last, a responsible and interesting new volume on Paul’’s letters for students! I wholeheartedly recommend it.””

“The issues surrounding science and theology are multifaceted. Most books dealing with these issues provide one point of view. This book does it right! Four authors deal separately with the biblical accounts of creation, evolutionary theory, philosophical influences on evolutionary thought, and finally, a positive transcendence of the false dichotomies with an exciting conclusion: ‘reality is a grand journey, and God is the ultimate adventurer.”’ It is a brilliant resolution to a difficult issue.”

“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.”

“This engaging, informative textbook leads students quickly into interreligious inquiry and encounter. With its clear focus on religious practice, it will be a most helpful teaching tool.”
