- "Bishop Neill has wisely refrained from producing 'yet another introduction to the non-Christian religions'. Rather this is 'an attempt to understand them in their contemporary crises, and to make an assessment of them from a Christian standpoint'. The method is that of dialogue, and the aim is not to delineate other faiths from without, but to enter 'into the heart and spirit of another religion', yet without disloyalty to one's own, seeking what is positive in them, and the questions they may rightly ask of Christianity, as well as the pertinent questions about God and man which Christians may put to them. Chapters are devoted, not only to Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism, but also to the faith of contemporary primitive peoples, and to two modern Western 'gospels', Marxist Communism and Existentialism". -- front dust jacket blurb.
