Description: Theologian Wesley Ariarajah believes that authentic Christian faith in today's religiously plural world demands that we rethink central concepts of the Christian theological tradition. Ariarajah's work is based on the conviction that some of the basic doctrinal formulations about God, Sin, Christ, Salvation, and Mission can in fact be rethought for our day, helping us to affirm deeply the Christian faith while yet respecting other religious experiences in their distinctiveness. He traces the biblical roots and theological developments of these doctrines, evaluates their coherence, and proposes new constructive options for a Christian theology of religions. (back cover).
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 189-192) and index.
