Most
important throughout my career have been the works of Wilfred
Cantwell Smith, my graduate school mentor. His many insights into
the study and understanding of religion culminated in his Toward
A World Theology, in which he insists that a Christian thinker
who works in the context of the history of religion, meaning all
religions, is not called on to neglect or forsake the Christian
faith. He or she must, however, understand and articulate that
faith in the broadest possible context, one that is willing to
take into serious account what we are now coming to know about the
beliefs of other peoples and other cultures with whom we share
this world.
