ONE of the most pressing problems for the open-minded Christian to-day is to know how to acknowledge the other great religions of the world as vehicles of spiritual truth and channels of the grace of God without being disloyal to his own deep conviction of the uniqueness of Christianity. In 1970 a conference was held at Birmingham University to wrestle with this very problem. It was attended by sixteen international scholars, and their acknowledged aim was ’to discuss the relation between world religions in view of their apparently conflicting truth-claims’. Such a conference is not expected to provide an answer, but rather to open up the problem, identify the issues and indicate possible ways of advance. One valuable outcome of it was the publication of a book consisting of articles by some of those taking part. Its title is Truth and Dialogue: The Relationship between world religions. It is edited by Professor John Hick, whose enthusiasm in this sphere led to the convening of the conference, and is published by the Sheldon Press
