When Faiths Collide by Martin E Marty
Demonstrates that citizens, religions and identities can survive in radically pluralist settings. This title tackles people's fears of religious pluralism. It argues that those involved in collisions of faith need to risk hospitality towards one another, as opposed to the conventional plea for tolerance.
"When I teach courses at this level I always include religious diversityMartin Marty's recent text, When Faiths Collide, provides a good entry into this topic on three fronts: by drawing on history, theology, scripture and the intersection of religion with politics, medicine and other fields, Marty reinforces my claim to students that our discipline is polymethodical."

“An essential read.” Journal of Religion
“In his typically comprehensive way, Martin Marty kindly gives all sides a hearing, eager to make sure every position is fairly represented with its nuance.”
