A new model of Christian theology, the pluralistic model, is taking shape, moving beyond the tradition models of exclusivism (Christianity as the only true religion) and inclusivism (Christianity as the 'best' religion) toward a view that recognizes the possibility of many valid religions. In this volume a widely representative group of eminent Christian theologians-Protestant and Catholic, male and female from East and West, First and Third Worlds-explores genuinely new attitudes towards other believers and traditions, expanding and refining the discussion and debate over pluralistic theology.
