In this collection of essays, six leading scholars bring contemporary insights to the widely-debated and confusing topic of how biblical faith relates to other religions in our increasingly pluralistic world. Each scholar explores the topic from within his respective academic discipline-Old and New Testament, theology, church history, philosophy, and missions-and explains how true biblical faith interfaces with differing religious systems. Contributors include Gregory K. Beale, Daniel I. Block, Harold A. Netland, Richard J. Plantinga, Tite Tienou, and J. Dudley Woodberry. "This indispensable book offers clear and irenic help for all who have a deep concern for the uniqueness of Christianity as it relates to the followers of other religious faiths. I highly commend it." -A. Scott Moreau Professor and Chair, Intercultural Studies, Wheaton College Editor, Evangelical Missions Quarterly "Learning about non-Christian religions is no longer a marginal subject for seminary students. It is an essential part of daily life. This book is a clarion call to evangelicals to wake up to the new cultural reality facing us all." -Irving Hexham Professor, Department of Religious Studies University of Calgary David W.
