Richard Wentz

The Culture Of Religious Pluralism

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Within a historical context, Richard Wentz defines the challenges that pluralism presents to denominationalism and civil religion. He considers the contributions secularism and the New Age movement have made to the culture of religious pluralism. Finally, Wentz calls for a new pluralism based on civility and respect, a reimmersion into our religious traditions, and a willingness to understand and be tolerant of the traditions of others. 192 pp.
