No Other Gods: Christian Belief in Dialogue with Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam

by Hendrik Vroom, Mr. Hendrik M. Vroom

In today's pluralistic culture, Christianity is no longer the dominant belief system. Interest in religion is on the increase again after having declined in the seventies, but this does not mean that people are returning to the same positions they once held. Eastern religions, especially, have attracted wide interest. This significant work by Hendrik Vroom presses the theological and dialogical dimensions of religious pluralism. Vroom here makes a broad study of the views of Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam, especially their views on truth, and explores their mutual relationships. In the process, he seeks to answer a crucial question for our time: For what reasons would a person who has read extensively on Buddhist, Hindu, or Islamic thought continue to be a Christian?

The author is very knowledgeable about the topic, and goes into great depth especially about Hinduism and Buddhism. The topics are well researched as well. However, the deep dive is hard to follow at times and the point being made is not as clear as it could have been.
