Encountering God

by Diana L. Eck

In Encountering God, Diana Eck shows why dialogue with people of other faiths is crucial in today's interdependent world--globally, nationally, and even locally. She reveals how her own encounters with other religions have shaped and enlarged her Christian faith toward a bold new Christian pluralism.
