The Larger View : Unitarians and World Religions

A survey of inter-faith relations from a Unitarian perspective: this book traces the development of Unitarian attitudes towards major world religions over the past 250 years, showing how Unitarian values and ideas have been influenced by close contact with Buddhist, Hindu, Islamic, and Judaic traditions, in addition to mainstream Christian thought. The author considers the Unitarian contribution to the academic study of world religions and to the fostering of inter-faith relations. He also assesses the impact of inter-faith activities on the form and content of Sunday worship and religious education in Unitarian congregations.
