This collection of essays by a host of leading scholars of religion reflects on the urgent theological questions of our day. They present a worthy commendation of the life and academic career of William M. Shea-particularly his instinctive empathy for the 'other' and the contribution of multiple voices in our understanding of humanity, of religion, and of Christianity. These selections address contemporary challenges in the church, academy, and society, such as epistemology, culture, ecumenical/inter-religious dialogue, and the manifold nature of human religious experience.
