Religious pluralism : a metaphorical approach /

Technological advancement has brought the world to our doorsteps, but it has also contributed to a revolution in religious consciousness. Religious diversity--or religious pluralism--has always been around, but our awareness of it radically increases as we approach the millennium. True, this heightened awareness could exacerbate inter-religious conflict, but Arthur (Univ. of Wales) emphasizes here its enormous potential for positive influence. Writing for the intelligent, unzealous lay reader, he considers how we might answer the difficult, important sorts of questions that arise out of diversity. A good resource for those seeking common ground in interfaith dialog; recommended for academic libraries.--Michael W. Ellis, Ellenville P.L., NY (c) Copyright 2010.
