Comparing Faithfully by Michelle Voss
In comparative theology, an adherent of one religious tradition reflects on faith through deep and focused conversation with another tradition. This volume equips students of Christian theology for leadership in a pluralistic world through conversations about God, theodicy, humanity, Christology, and soteriology that take seriously the wisdom of religious neighbors.
Advances the burgeoning field of comparative theologyVoss Roberts hones in on how theologians read closely and respectfully the texts and ideas of other traditions, making themselves vulnerable to their insights; and consider whether rational accounts of their own faith could be substantively enriched by encounters with those others, without cannibalizing or appropriating them. -- -James W. Farwell Virginia Theological Seminary
