Proclamation and Dialogue

Friends:

I have just finished reading the first chapter of Dr. Lawrence D. Folkemer's book, No Mere Dialogue: Engaging World Religions. Larry was a long-serving faculty member at Gettysburg. He was one of the founders of the Consortium.

His first chapter--Proclamation and Dialogue--explores 10 theses on the question of proclaiming the gospel and dialogue with other religious communities. This chapter shows his typical thoughtfulness and balance. He covers all the major issues in a helpful way. Not that I am saying that we will agree at every point! But he truly engages this central question of our time.

Peace,
John
