About this book
If all beauty, truth, and goodness come from God through the Spirit, then how should we understand God's presence within other religions and human-made cultures that display these qualities?Christian theology needs to better understand how different religions, together with their cultural practices, can function as a channel through which the one, true God can reveal himself. In this erudite and thought-provoking work, Dr. Jalal S. L. delves into the revelatory presence of the invisible God, which manifests itself in diverse ways across cultures, traditions, and religions. Exploring biblical passages affirming the work and presence of the Spirit outside the church, this study provides a theologically informed perspective on religious experiences in the Indian context. Through examining how the omnipresent work of the Spirit may lead religious adherents to a deeper, contextual appreciation of God's character, the potential for diverse faiths to reveal the divine presence is uncovered. Scholars and theologians alike will find illuminating insights for recognizing and fostering the unrestricted work of the Spirit's inside and outside the church.
