Christianity and the Encounter of the World Religions

A collection of four Bampton Lectures given in the fall of 1961in the Low Memorial Library of Columbia University on decisive Christian points of views on other religions. The topics discussed include the emphasis on and the characterization of quasi-religions, the elaboration of the universalist element in Christianity, the suggestion of a dynamic typology of the religions, the dialogical character of the encounter of high religions, and the judgment of Christianity against itself as a religion and its ensuing openness for criticism.
