This book is largely about contacts that do not feature immediate conversion, although we do discuss the question of conversion in chapter 9. It is about life in the neighborhoods where you and I live. It is there, in the neighborhoods and not in academia, that religious pluralism is having its greatest impact. And it is in the small, everyday decisions about what kind of contact we want to have with Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Mormon, New Age, and Native American neighbors that the theological die is being cast that will shape the future of the American Christian church.
