"Includes complete text of Thomas Paine's Common sense"--Cover.

How do we relate to the muti-religious context we live in? To help discover an answer, this book will serve you well. The New Testament does not conform neatly to any of the modern attempts to define the Christian approach to other religions, argues Basil Scott. He confronts the questions: what does the New Testament tell us about religions and what is its approach to those who were Gentiles (that is people who were racially and religiously not Jewish), and their beliefs and practices? He focuses his attention on the evidence provided by the New Testament itself, and especially the attitude of its writers to the religions of their times. There is no book like this, which surveys all that the New Testament has to say about religions.
