Being Christian in a Multi-faith Context Patrick T. Yu

This book follows the thinking of eight Christians in a Toronto Church as they grapple with their encounter with people of other faiths. In a carefully planned study the author led them through an intentional course including a reflection of their own attitudies, an investigation of how the Church tackled this issue throughout its history, and introduced them to three positions of Exclusivism, Inclusivism and Pluralism. Based on a Doctor of Ministry Thesis, the book consists of presentions of the author's research and educational methodology, his critical theological investigation of existing theories, his own conclusions, and how it affected his ministry. It is a good introduction to theology of religions and contains study material ready to use by any one who wishes to lead a discussion on how a Christian responds to her and his neighbours of other faiths.
