Outsiders and insiders

David R. Brockman

pp. 9-21

Abstract

In the previous chapter, I criticized Christian theology for failing to listen to what religious others have to say. Yet why should Christians care about what non-Christians think? What's wrong with a sharp separation between the Christian "inside" and the non-Christian "outside"? Isn't Christian theology an inherently intra-Christian conversation, a discourse carried on by Christians about Christian belief for Christian purposes? If so, why should it include non-Christian voices?
