This unit is concerned with Christian attitudes to other religions. It examines pertinent theological and philosophical issues and is not per se about non-Christian religions. The main focus of debate in this field regards questions about the nature and status of Christ, the doctrine of God, the nature of the Church, differing models of mission, the problems of inter-faith spirituality, and political involvement in a pluralist context. The questions raised are germane to a number of general questions related to inter-faith relations in contemporary Britain.
