Kärkkäinen’s acclaimed five-volume constructive theology abridged in one accessible volume
Providing a new and unique way of doing theology in our pluralistic world, Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen presents historic Christian doctrines in relation to the natural sciences and four other living faiths—Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism. This textbook covers all systematic topics along with a host of current issues such as violence, colonialism, inclusivity, sociopolitical liberation, environmental care, and more.
Accessible and student-friendly, Christian Theology in the Pluralistic World is the ideal text for exploring a theological vision at once rooted in the Christian tradition and constructive in its engagement with the complexities of our global, pluralistic world.
Interpretation
“A master work. It is well-researched, wide-ranging, and comprehensive.”
Religious Studies Review
“A useful and essential volume, appropriate for upper- level undergraduate and graduate students.”
