Rethinking religion(s) -- Secularization, globalization, and the religions -- Buddhism in the modern world -- Jesus in a global, postcolonial world -- Part 2. Christian commitments in a pluralistic world. Can all religions be true? -- On the idea of Christianity as the one true religion -- Religious diversity and reasons for belief -- Living with religious diversity as Jesus's disciples.  aThis book explores how religions have changed in a globalized world and how Christianity is unique among them. Harold Netland, an expert in philosophical aspects of religion and pluralism, offers a fresh analysis of religion in today's globalizing world. He challenges misunderstandings of the concept of religion itself and shows how particular religious traditions, such as Buddhism, undergo significant change with modernization and globalization. Netland then responds to issues concerning the plausibility of Christian commitments to Jesus Christ and the unique truth of the Christian gospel in light of religious diversity. The book concludes with basic principles for living as Christ's disciples in religiously diverse contexts. 0aChristianity and other religions.
