Religious pluralism – New books
A number of new purchases and donations were added to the library this month. Among these is Peter C. Phan (2017) The joy of religious pluralism: a personal journey Orbis Books. This long-awaited volume was written in response to Vatican concerns about his orthodoxy. The concerns were raised by his earlier book: (2004) Being religious interreligiously: Asian perspectives on interfaith dialogue Orbis Books. What do you think about the response that he gives? You could read the two books for yourself. You will find them at 261.2 PHA in our library.
261 is one of the larger sections in our library, looking at Christianity and culture. 261.2 looks more specifically at Christianity and other religions/religious pluralism. You can engage with the subject of religious pluralism and a Christian response to other religions by taking a look at our books in this section.
