Editorial Review:
The academic study of religion is undergoing great changes in response to globalization. Just as sociologists now find it necessary to think in terms of "multiculturalism," so religion scholars and theologians today must work in the context of "multireligiosity." Globalization is leading not only to multiethnic societies but also to plurality in religions and worldviews. Theology and the Religions: A Dialogue offers the first sustained analysis of the trend toward multireligiosity and its implications for the study of religion. Drawing on the resources of cultural analysis, religious studies, and theology, an international slate of thirty-seven scholars explores the relation of multiculturality and multireligiosity, the need for interreligious dialogue, and the possibilities for a "theology of religions." This groundbreaking work is supported by case studies of various religious traditions in diverse cultures from around the world. Offering an engaging, wide-angle view of religion worldwide, Theology and the Religions makes a vital contribution to our understanding of the forces shaping the future of religious and social life.

Theology and the Religions: A Dialogue Reviews:
A good text 
2007-11-20 - This is a good text on interfaith/multicultural dialogue. Do not let the low reviews be an indicator because they bought without looking to see if Aragorn was actually a professor of theology and then panning the book with a bad review and not chalk it up to their own impulsiveness.
One star to Amazon not the book!!!! 
2004-07-11 - Amazon should know better. It is possible in the whole world that 2 writers share the same name !
You shoud not list Viggo Mortensen's works of art : poetry /photography/paintings/and movies with Viggo Mortensen's writings about theological concepts. The former is the actor, artist, and the latter is the theologian.
Please, be consistent ! A little clean up is in order (no pun intended!).
how many Viggo Mortensen's can there be? 
2004-04-18 - I also bought this book thinking it was the celebrity Viggo Mortensen's. Wonder how many have been sold for that reason? It really is a fascinating book but a challenging read.
Not What I was Looking For
2004-03-04 - I bought this book on the assumption that it was edited by the LOR, Viggo Mortenson. I understand he is the ownwer of an editing company and sometimes writes editorial notes in material his company publishes.... my mistake!!! This book was written by a very learned professor of systematic theology and the director of the center for Multireligious Studies at Aarhus University in Denmark.....not the same guy.... Im sure its an interesting read for the right person.
