Christian Theology in a Pluralistic Age

“This fine volume is the fruit of conversations among nine Christian theologians facing together some of the daunting issues of our century: pluralism engaged in a nonreductive constructive manner; interreligious learning in actual practice, demonstrated by concrete examples; theology returned in the public square amid changing social, philosophical, and religious realities; new meeting points of the sacred and secular. David Jensen and his colleagues help us to reimagine the duties and risks of theology in our times.”


—Francis X. Clooney, SJ, professor of divinity, Harvard Divinity School





“The wide-ranging chapters in this thought-provoking volume offer an excellent example of how interfaith dialogue continues to evolve, inviting an ever-expanding audience into enriching, practical forms of pluralistic religious engagement that positively impact Christian theology and support the common good in the twenty-first century.”


—Kristin Johnston Largen, president, Wartburg Theological Seminary





“Christian Theology in a Pluralistic Age draws together multiple disciplinary perspectives on religious pluralism. Constructive theological assessments, case studies of lived experiences, and applications for contemporary society are drawn together to make sense of religious pluralism for Christianity. These essays provide a valuable perspective on the state of the question and benchmarks for further directions for study.”
