RELI 248 Different Voices: Christian Faith and World Religions

This course will explore the dilemma facing traditional Christianity regarding the World’s religions.  The primary questions to be addressed are:  How should Christians engage other world religions?  In what ways have different Christians theologically dealt with other religions?  What are the positive and negative ways that Christianity has related to other religions?  Is it inevitable that the religions of the world must be in conflict with each other?  Are all religions equally true?  As the world gets smaller and smaller how ought contemporary Christians deal with their evangelical vocation to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ?  How do other religions help or hinder Christians from dealing with their understanding of evangelism, anthropology and Christology? These and other questions will be discussed and debated.
