Also, to probe more deeply into the theology of world religions, ask about the publication, "Christianity & the Religions, A Biblical Theology of World Religions." The essays in this book address contemporary questions raised by religious pluralism by looking again at the Bible.

One commentator says, "no issue in missiology is more important...than the theology of religions."
