The aim of this series is to reflect the fact that the most exciting developments in creative Christian theology lie outside the West. The series attempts to combine the thinking of leading Christian theologies from all continents. The authors consider that a true understanding of the Trinity as a "federal God of love" is vital for all Christians. With this understanding the basis has been laid for the refute of both extreme fundamentalism and the idea that all religions are one. The authors also argue that this will lead to provocation for individuals to work for peace on behalf of the oppressed. Ninian Smart is the author of "The Religious Experience of Mankind".
