This book offers a fresh perspective on religious difference by setting local challenges within the global picture, and exploring the meaning of religious resurgence for Western secularist ideas. Theory and practical engagement are combined in an imaginative Christian approach to responding to religious difference, without resorting to relativism.

"This short, incisive Christian reflection on interfaith dialogue and practice could well become a landmark in identifying and resourcing the next generation's agenda for such encounter... This invigorating work could energise much theology, interfaith encounter, and religious education, as well as the teaching of politics and social sciences." - Church Times
