More DescriptionFor more than a century Western theology has been exposed to rigorous criticism, while granting space to other worldview traditions. What was once common has lost its self-evidence, leading to intriguing questions. In his almost 40-year career as a theologian, Hendrik M. Vroom has become an intelligent observer and authority in the field of religious diversity and in this analysis he engages his expertise on such questions as Do theistic religions worship the same God?

These are stimulating and essential questions for anyone interested in the phenomenon of religion.
