Radical Difference
«``Perry's book is useful for missiology, the history of 20th-century ecumenism, and the study of religions. He has established the continuing relevance of Hendrick Kraemer's thought for contemporary cross-cultural religious dialogue and understanding. His book deserves a wide reading.'' -- Charles Raynal, Columbia Theological Seminary, Studies in Religion -- 200512»
It is commonly assumed that all religions are essentially alike, that they are all common members of the genus Religion. But what if religions are not fundamentally similar after all? What if, on the contrary, it is better to presuppose a radical difference among the world's various religious communities, with each faith being defined by different beliefs, different practices, different world views, and different ways of life? Radical Difference: A Defence of Hendrik Kraemer's Theology of Religions explores the implications of this presupposition by examining the pioneering work of Dutch Reformed theologian and missionary Hendrik Kraemer.
