Review Quotes
"I would recommend this book to anyone trying to reach this postmodern millennial generation. Yet, this recommendation comes with a caveat: Be prepared to be challenged in your own thinking about how the three dimensions of theology, morality, and liturgy all function Between One Faith and Another."
"No one else could have written this remarkable book. Peter Kreeft has employed his personal gift for lively and erudite dialogue to present some of the most difficult issues in the philosophy of religion in a way that will charm, entice, and instruct even readers who are completely new to the subject."
"Scholars, seekers, and ordinary saints will be challenged by this book, and that is a good thing. It probes and questions-always accessibly and playfully-and the result is that every reader will learn."
"The book affords an engaging, informative, and edifying read if the reader is committed to the intellectual rigor necessary to follow implications at the theoretical and existential level."
"With the wisdom and wit we expect from Professor Kreeft, this delightful 'imaginative exploration' guides us in thinking about differences and similarities in the major religious traditions today. Thoughtful, informative, and provocative, this 'trialogue' takes us to the heart of some central issues in comparative religion."
