More about the book

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.
