DESCRIPTION

Transforming Christianity and the World goes beyond "teacup" interreligious dialogue to show how religious traditions interact and how together they can transform the world.

Emphasizing the transforming nature of Jesus in Christianity, Cobb asserts that every religious tradition includes an ideal of transformation. From a process thought perspective he argues that religions are comprised not only of an internal identity but one formed by their relation with other religions. There are also excellent reasons, from within the Christian tradition itself, for Christians to learn as much as possible from other religions and to share their faith with others. Most importantly, adherents of the world religions must join forces to face the critical issues of our time--particularly concerning ecojustice.

Transforming Christianity and the World offers those involved with issues of religious pluralism, scholars, and seminarians, reflection and direction for exploring faith in this context.
