This is theology that views religious diversity as promising rather than problematic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGod in Perspective\u003c\/em\u003e examines how the familiar Christian theological responses to religious diversity—known as the exclusivist, inclusivist, and pluralist models, along with their variants—reflect either modernity’s totalizing epistemology, by upholding the pre-eminence of a single religious tradition, or postmodernity’s decentering epistemologies, by upholding the relativity of all traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGod in Perspective\u003c\/em\u003e seeks a space beyond that stalemate between common-ground and incompatibility, beyond modern homogeneity and postmodern fragmentation. By offering a fresh reading of Nicholas of Cusa’s vision and drawing on the best scholarship in contemporary theologies of religious diversity, \u003cem\u003eGod In Perspective\u003c\/em\u003e presents a theological framework that enables people of diverse traditions to hold to the particularity of their beliefs and yet learn from those who stand in a different place, discovering a God who is revealed \u003cem\u003ein and through\u003c\/em\u003e multiplicity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PTY Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47603311050988,"sku":"9781666936742","price":187.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781666936742-the-theological-promise-of-religious-diversity.jpg?v=1778059756","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-theological-promise-of-religious-diversity-by-peter-walker-9781666936742","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
