Other Religions

If an individual believer is asked to explain his or her religion, the answers can be set out as an explanatory model.  Having constructed what we think is the logic of that person's faith it is important to check back to see if we have got it  right to the person's satisfaction.  And often an individual's explanation may not correspond to the model which is officially adopted in the
statement of faith of that denomination. The two books, Religion: Origins and Ideas and God of Many Names illustrate how models can be used to explain the faith of individual believers in various religions and ideologies.  A clear idea of the model one wants to commend is also very important in communicating one's own faith. The following pieces approach the problem of understanding other religions from various angles.
