Christianity Through Non-Christian Eyes : Faith Meets Faith Series
Outline: This reader of 20th-century analyses of Christianity by representative non-Christians gives rare insight into how the Christian faith appears from the outside. Christianity through Non-Christian Eyes provides new perspectives for thinking with theological seriousness and historical sensitivity about the reality and challenges of religious pluralism, by showing the extent to which the perceptions of non-Christians have roots in the historical connections between Christianity and colonialism. Griffiths devotes a section each of Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism. His treatment includes an introduction which explores the most important historical and systematic influences upon that particular view of Christianity, and several essays by members of that non-Christian community. They simultaneously correct stereotypes of Christians while demonstrating the different ways similar historical and conceptual influences are worked out when the members of any religious community think about religious communities other than their work.
