This innovative book introduces main Christian doctrines and beliefs for thoughtful Christians and seekers in a manner understandable and meaningful for people living in a religiously pluralistic, complex, and secular world. Different from any other titles available, it engages not only Christian tradition and Bible but also the insights from natural sciences and four living faiths and their teachings: Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism. It also includes global and contextual voices such as those of women, minorities, and testimonies of the global church. Based on wide and comprehensive academic research–including the author’s groundbreaking five-volume A Constructive Christian Theology for the Pluralistic World (2013-17), this book is meant for a general audience, interested laypeople, lay leaders, ministers without formal academic training, and beginning theology and religion students. It is also highly useful for pastors and theologians who often find overly technical presentations less useful. The style of writing is conversational and inviting for dialogue and discussion.
