One of the members of a small interfaith dialog group to which I belong suggested we all read this book. I am glad she called it to my attention, this is a wonderful discussion of the theology of, need for, and aims of interfaith dialogue. I want to read more like this.
A Christan with an education Diana outlines the meaning of Christianity to her and the reasons why this is not the only path to God. She herself claims to be a Christian and lays out the foundation for what they means. She makes a very strong case against the conservative Church of condemnation.
