This second edition of Shirley Guthrie’s classic work includes new essays by three distinguished theologians who explore and respond to Guthrie’s central question: “How can Christians maintain their identity in a pluralistic society without becoming exclusive, intolerant, and irrelevant?” Together, these essays add even more depth to Guthrie’s profound reflections on how the Christian community can be inclusive and relevant without losing its own authenticity.
“This book is a great gift to those who love theology. Nowhere else could one find such clear accounts of the issues that really matter in theology today.”
—William C. Placher, Charles D. and Elizabeth S. LaFollette Distinguished Professor in the Humanities, Wabash College
