Kristin Johnston Largen Books

Students of theology live in a world defined by interreligious dialogue. This theology text prepares students for the real task of understanding and articulating their Christian beliefs in a religiously and culturally diverse world. Concentrating on the anchoring subjects of God, creation, and humanity, she explores these loci in the broader context of interreligious dialogue with Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, and Islam to better understand the Christian tradition.

Expanding on her previous work, Kristin Johnston Largen integrates Christian theology with interreligious dialogue, emphasizing the importance of understanding faith in a broader context. This volume challenges students to explore theological concepts alongside insights from other religious traditions, promoting a more inclusive and comprehensive approach to theology. Largen's work encourages readers to engage with diverse perspectives, fostering a richer understanding of their own beliefs within the tapestry of global spirituality.

Challenging doctrines regarding women's bodies and the concept of rebirth in Shin Buddhism are examined, drawing parallels to similar themes in Christianity. The book delves into how these religious teachings address women's experiences and bodies, offering a comparative analysis that highlights the intersections of faith and gender. Through this exploration, it invites readers to reflect on the implications of these doctrines in both traditions.
