Summary:

"Through an examination of Christian interaction with other religions, Paul S. Chung constructs a theology of comparative religion. In the course of the construction, Chang employs the work of Ernst Troeltsch, Robert Bellah, and Karl Barth, while offering case studies of transformative interaction between Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. His interdisciplinary approach opens up avenues for the inter-religious understanding and melding, exploring the development of a Protestant Islam, for instance, and providing new conceptions of the religions involved, and the realities they assert." -- Publisher, inside front flap of dust jacket.
