From the first chapter of Jesus and the Other Names, which recounts his own theological and dialogical odyssey, Knitter constructs what he calls a 'correlational, globally-responsible theology of religions' as a necessary correction to traditional pluralist and exclusivist approaches. By anticipating and addressing his critics-both conservative and liberal-Knitter makes a powerful argument for a reconstruction of mission faithful to the Christian imperative and dynamically attuned to the plurality of the world.
