In a series of masterly chapters Kraemer surveys the position of theworld's religions deeply enmeshed in socio-cultural systems that create bothbarriers to change but impetus towards evolution. The dialogue with the 'grand,elusive, Eastern systems of humanist thinking' demands searching thought,fundamental re-adjustment of methods and readiness to find fresh points ofcontact. It will, however, vindicate the personal conception of the living Godas manifest in Jesus Christ. The 'key word of Oriental philosophies is Harmony,glossing over the glaring disharmonies of man's life.' This is, the heart of the dialogue that Kraemer discusses backed byhis vast experience and learning. Kraemer provides a formative and fundamentaltool for Christians and all who are aspire to an intelligent and penetrativeunderstanding of the religious and cultural life of the world. ","brand":"Hendrik Kraemer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45746759336254,"sku":"9780227170953","price":1934.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780227170953_38cb9b59-0206-42b2-9c6b-91a040616a9e.jpg?v=1707234905","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780227170953","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
