 Description: Theologically speaking, how should Christians live among people of other faiths?

Western Christianity’s interaction with world religions used to be, for the most part, overseas. Today, “religious others” often live next door. At a changing time when one public prayer spoken during the 2009 U.S. presidential inauguration festivities was addressed to “O god of our many understandings,” the evangelical Christian church should do more than simply dismiss non-Christian religions as pagan without argument or comment. The Church needs a theology of religions that is Christ-honoring, biblically faithful, intellectually satisfying, compassionate, and that will encourage Spirit-powered mission. Oregon-based theology professor Todd Miles writes to that end in A God of Many Understandings?, attempting, as the scholar Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen puts it, “to think theologically about what it means for Christians to live with people of other faiths and about the relationship of Christianity to other religions.”

"Many today substitute human sentiments and so-called human wisdom for the word of God, thinking that pluralism and inclusivism are kinder and gentler than exclusivism. Todd Miles demonstrates in this exegetically faithful and theologically profound work that the Scriptures teach that one must hear the gospel to be saved. Miles reminds us that faithfulness to Scripture is always the most loving position, for those who do not hear the gospel are perishing. I pray, therefore, that this book will motivate the church to proclaim the gospel to the ends of the earth."
--Thomas R. Schreiner, James Buchanan Harrison professor of New Testament Interpretation, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
