    Main description
    Leading exponents of the idea that all religions are a refraction of a truth no single tradition can exclusively reveal discuss what to make of that conviction in today's world of interreligious strife. The authors represent Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Sikhism, and include such well-known figures as John Hick, Rita M. Gross, Arvind Sharma, Sallie King, Roger Haight, Dan Cohn-Sherbok, and Ashgar Ali Engineer. These scholars make a compelling case for taking the next step in interreligious interchange: the development of a multifaith, pluralistic theology of religions.
    Biographical note
    Paul F. Knitter is professor emeritus of theology at Xavier University in Cincinnati, and author of numerous books and articles on interreligious matters. His most recent book is Introducing Theologies of Religions.
