About the Author
What People are Saying About This
"Bob Robinson is to be commended for insisting that a christocentric and missional approach to interreligious dialogue is neither imperialistic nor conversation-stopping, but in fact the best way to show respect for, and have fruitful dialogue with, our non-Christian friends and colleagues. His focus on Jesus' example in his relations with Gentiles is fresh and helpful."
Gerald R. McDermott
Professor of Religion, Roanoke College
Author of Can Evangelicals Learn from World Religions?
"Rereading the gospel story of Jesus in a pluralistic world brings forth treasures old and new: what emerges is the familiar Lord of Christian faith on the one hand, but one who is surprisingly open in his interactions with Samaritans and Gentiles (non-Jews) on the other hand. Bob Robinson leaves no stone unturned in this patient but yet invigorating Christology that shows there is so much more to consider about . . . fresh approaches to people of other faiths today."

"How should believers live today in a multifaith world? Dr. Robinson argues convincingly and passionately that Jesus' encounters with Gentiles and Samaritans give a vital example for us today. In a work richly informed by studies of the historical Jesus and the first-century world, by contemporary Christology, and a Christian theology of religions, Dr. Robinson shows that 'the imitation of Christ' can guide Christians in interreligious relations today. . . . Clearly argued and scholarly but highly accessible, this important and welcome contribution is a must for all who are interested in this vital area."

"Since Jesus never met a Buddhist or a Muslim, the people who seek to 'follow Jesus' have sometimes thought that his teaching and example provide no guidance for interaction with adherents of other faiths today. This book, however, demonstrates that Jesus . . . does provide just such an example, one that is invaluable for us today in our spiritually pluralistic world."
