Author Description

?This book grows out of a desire to come to grips with our new context. Until a few decades ago we believed that Norway was for Norwegians, and that Norwegians were Christian--most of them even Lutheran. Slowly at first, but then with increasing momentum, our neighborhoods and villages changed from being mono-cultural and mono-religious into something less Norwegian but more like a rainbow society. This book brings together the presentations of a symposium on these issues. The symposium featured two international keynote speakers, Robert Schreiter and Kirsteen Kim, as well as a group of presenters and respondents, to discuss and reflect on the challenges to witnessing to Christ in societies with multiple faith traditions.
