Details
In this provocative and thoughtful book McDermott explores these issues. He begins with a look at how evangelicals have responded to world religions and then explores the theological concept of revelation. Biblically and theologically he then makes a case for God's having revealed himself outside of Israel and the church. By way of illustration, he shows that theologians such as Augustine, Thomas Aquinas and Calvin used thinking from outside the church to help in understanding the revelation of Christ.
He then explores four case studies of how Buddhist, Daoist, Confucian and Islamic understandings have enriched his own understanding of scriptural concepts. In a concluding chapter he responds to possible objections to his project.
