<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>By putting religious pluralists, comparative theologians, and scholars of religious studies into conversation with theologians doing doctrinal work within the Christian trinitarian tradition, this volume generates critical and imaginative visions of divine and creaturely relations that can inform future theological, philosophical and ethical work in interdisciplinary, inter-religious and intra-religious contexts.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The essays in this volume ask if and how trinitarian and pluralist discourses can enter into fruitful conversation with one another. Can trinitarian conceptions of divine multiplicity open the Christian tradition to more creative and affirming visions of creaturely identities, difference, and relationality--including the specific difference of religious plurality? Where might the triadic patterning evident in the Christian theological tradition have always exceeded the boundaries of Christian thought and experience? Can this help us to inhabit other religious traditions' conceptions of divine and/or creaturely reality? <p/>The volume also interrogates the possibilities of various discourses on pluralism by putting them in a concrete pluralist context and asking to what extent pluralist discourse can collect within itself a convergent diversity of orthodox, heterodox, postcolonial, process, poststructuralist, liberationist, and feminist sensibilities while avoiding irruptions of conflict, competition, or the logic of mutual exclusion.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"This book is groundbreaking in that it pushes the boundary both of religious studies, theologies of religion, systematic and constructive theology, philosophy of religion, and comparative theology."<b>-----Marion Grau, <i>School of the Pacific</i></b><br><br>"This volume presents a scholarly conversation around some of the burning issues in theology and in religious dialogue today. Indeed it helps a conversation that is pressing to our time to gain momentum and a sense of direction, to move forward with compelling velocity."<b>-----Anna Mercedes, <i>College of St. Benedict</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><br><strong>Chris Boesel </strong> is Associate Professor of Christian Theology at Drew University School of Theology. <p/><strong>S.
