Description
Book SynopsisIn this vital contribution to current comparative theology studies, Michael Barnes puts learning at the centre of responsible interfaith dialogue. Discussing a Christian spirituality which builds on virtues of hospitality and welcoming of other traditions, this book demonstrates that learning about another's faith goes together with learning about one's own.
