A God of Many Understandings?
The Gospel and a Theology of Religions
Todd L. Miles
Western Christianity’s interaction with world religions used to be, for the most
part, overseas. Today, “religious others” often live next door. At a changing time
when one public prayer spoken during the 2009 U.S. presidential inauguration
festivities was addressed to “O god of our many understandings,” the evangelical
Christian church should do more than simply dismiss non-Christian religions as
pagan without argument or comment. The church needs a theology of religions
that is Christ-honoring, biblically faithful, intellectually satisfying, compassionate,
and that will encourage Spirit-powered mission. Oregon-based theology
professor Todd L. Miles writes to that end in A God of Many Understandings?,
attempting, as the scholar Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen puts it, “to think theologically
about what it means for Christians to live with people of other faiths and about
the relationship of Christianity to other religions.”
Todd L. Miles is assistant professor of Theology and Hermeneutics at Western Seminary in Portland,
Oregon, where he earned the M.Div. He also holds a Ph.D. from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
