- Summary
- "On what grounds can a Christian approach a Buddhist -- a Hindu -- a Muslim -- a Shintoist? What can the Christian say to the secularist or the Communist that would have meaning? What can persons in the widely divergent traditions of worldwide Christianity say to each other? Here a group of 15 men with special knowledge and interest speak directly to these groups, throwing light most realistically on the problems involved. Each chapter speaks to a particular faith or tradition. Each writer is a Christian. The net effect is consistent and interesting. And in this panorama of sermons, there is strong evidence that there is far more exisiting Christian unity that is commonly assuemed"--Jacket flap.
