      The view from Mars Hill: Christianity in the Landscape of World Religions

      Charles Jones traces the rich history of Christianity�s many encounters with other religions, from the Roman Empire and Paul�s speech to the Athenians on Mars Hill (Acts 17:16�34) to the �discovery� of non-European peoples, through various currents of philosophy and science, and in both the peaceful and violent meetings of Christianity and other religions today.
