Synopsis

How do we make sense of the world's different religions? In today's globalized society, religion is deeply intertwined with every issue we see on the news. But talking about multiple religions can be contentious. Are different faiths compatible somehow? And how can we know whether one religion is more true than another? In this creative thought experiment, Peter Kreeft invites us to encounter dialogues on the world's great faiths. His characters Thomas Keptic and Bea Lever are students in Professor Fesser's course on world religions, and the three explore the content and distinctive claims of each. Together they probe the plausibility of major religions, from Hinduism and Buddhism to Christianity and Islam. Along the way they explore how religions might relate to each other and to what extent exclusivism or inclusivism might make sense. Ultimately Kreeft gives us helpful tools for thinking fairly and critically about competing religious beliefs. If the religions are different kinds of music, do they together make harmony or cacophony? Decide for yourself.

At least, I think theistic exclusivism has an adequate response that atheistic exclusivism does not......more

Goodreads review by James

It had been a while since I picked up a book by Peter Kreeft. I do have an electronic version of his Handbook of Christian Apologetics (IVP, 1994), which I still refer to from time to time and a dozen years ago I read his How to Win A Culture War (IVP, 2002), but I don't remember it well enough to t......more

Goodreads review by David

I was glad I read this book but it was also frustrating to read. The characters presented many logical fallacies but that was kind of the point. It helped the reader engage with what they might actually experience in real life conversations about different kinds of faith.......more

Goodreads review by Joel

This is right up my alley - thoughtful, philosophically-engaged, light-hearted and humorous work from an apologist who is more interested in taking the best of inter-faith dialogue seriously than simply propping up well-worn arguments in favor of one faith over another. This is written as a dialogue,......more

Goodreads review by Hank

This book is in the form of a Socratic dialogue regarding the major world religions. This might be very good for reading but I found it a little hard to keep up with for listening. (Note: I'm stingy with stars. For me 2 stars means a good book or a B. 3 = Very good or a B+; 4 = Outstanding or an A {o......more
