Inter-Faith Movement: The New Age Enters the Church

by Herbert J. Pollitt

Inter-Faith is one of the most influential religious movements in the present world scene. A combination of academic theologians, leaders of main-line denominations and inter-faith activists themselves, agree that the great world religions all express an identical transcendence. All lead to the knowledge of God, and therefore all are possessed of a common unity. Here then is a view with far-reaching consequences. Herbert J. Pollitt believes that the Inter-Faith movement only gains credence by ignoring two great first, that the 'divine' allegedly found in each religion is as different as the religions themselves; and second, that the message of historic Christianity cannot be adjusted to any idea of a universal faith. This carefully argued book, with detailed information, is one of the most definitive titles yet to appear on this pressing issue. Dr. Pollitt, born in Lancashire, graduated from Peterhouse, Cambridge and spent his teaching career in schools and colleges of education. Now retired, he lives with his wife in Worcestershire where he attends a Baptist church and enjoys water-colour painting as a hobby.
