A Charitable Orthopathy

“How should Christians relate to adherents of other religions? A Charitable Orthopathy breaks fresh ground in moving the discussion beyond simply questions about beliefs and practices to consideration of the moral and theological significance of attitudes and emotions shaping our responses to religious others. At a time when Christian perspectives are driven largely by fear and anger, these essays point us toward a better way, rooted in the virtues to be found in Christ’s disciples.”


—Harold A. Netland, Professor of Philosophy of Religion and Intercultural Studies, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School





“Morehead and Benziger have assembled an impressive collection of distinguished scholars to analyze this much-neglected subject—affective attitudes in interreligious relations. Recommended for all those interested in interreligious exchange.”


—Gerald R. McDermott, Anglican Chair of Divinity, Beeson Divinity School





“Morehead and Benziger bring together an outstanding group of scholars who explore the emotions and attitudes of evangelicals toward those of other faiths. . . . A Charitable Orthopathy is a critical volume for anyone who is trying to navigate the challenging terrain of our ‘multi’ world. As one who teaches and practices multifaith engagement, this volume is a welcome addition to the individual volumes from thoughtful evangelicals, many of whom are contributors to this volume.”


—C. Douglas McConnell, Professor of Leadership and Intercultural Studies, Fuller Theological Seminary





“This volume invites the evangelical community to engage in compassionate and holistic ways with people from other religions, because without compassionate engagement our message becomes compromised. This book is a valuable tool for those who seek to equip the church to be the salt of the earth in a multifaith society.”
