An introductory textbook on Christian approaches to other world faiths.

This book presents three different, influential and representative theological approaches towards the world religions. Students are not only introduced to the field, but get three passionate and intelligent 'takes' on what is at stake. By means of a response to each of the primary essays, the authors are put into interaction with each other, and are also engaged with the most contemporary scholarship in the field of theology of religions.This sustained and high level critical interaction between the authors provides a feature that is not to be found in any other current work in theology of religions. The three views represent: conservative Roman Catholic Christianity (D'Costa), Reformed evangelical Christianity (Strange) and liberationist liberal Christianity (Knitter). This book will therefore appeal to a very wide theological market from all sections of the theological spectrum.

THIS IS A GRITTY STORY Joy is a naive girl, curiously lured in by forbidden temptations. Being enticed, she is vividly engulfed, entrenched by foolish desires. Crystal Meth and twisted love pushed Joy past her limit of sanity. A world encapsulated in torment, deceptively isolated, Joy is lost. Shackled in chains, being held as a prisoner comes deprivation in the pit. Would Joy ever be free again? With no one on her side, but a loving Savior who she turned her back on all those years ago. Would it take death to make her rise again, in the powerful name of Jesus? Praise God. At the Cross my candle is lit and lifted up. “You are just one little piece, of something so much greater, than you could ever imagine.”

This is a gritty story; faith that submerges into hellish existence and where it all implodes. Joy is a naive girl, curiously lured in by forbidden temptations. Being enticed, she is vividly engulfed, entrenched by foolish desires. Crystal meth and twisted love are pushing Joy past her limits of sanity. A world encapsulated in torment, deceptively isolated, she is hopelessly lost. Shackled in heavy set chains, held as a prisoner past the rickety gates comes deprivation in the pit. Embers will ravage her soul for eternal damnation if she does not escape. With no one on her side, but a Savior who she turned her back on all those years ago. It will take the power of death to make her rise again; for you can't be revived, unless you are already dead. An ambitious true story; "You are just one little piece, of something so much greater, than you could ever imagine."

This book reminds us that Tself-help' is a myth; only through Christ can a person experience freedom and deliverance.S--Dr. Jeff Moore, senior pastor, First Baptist Church of Altus, Okla. (Christian)
