Contents:
Judaism and Gentiles : Jesus, Galilee, and Gospels -- Some key encounters with Gentiles -- Elsewhere in the gospels :purity, temple, parables -- Samaritans and Jesus -- Some implications for the encounter with Islam -- Some conclusions about Jesus, Gentiles, and Samaritans.
Summary: How should followers of Christ live in a multi-religious world? This book argues that the example of Jesus has something fresh and helpful to say to those who ponder the question. It takes something old--the example of Jesus--to say something new to our pluralist world. Most of the book examines the meetings of Jesus with Gentiles and Samaritans. This is a scholarly but accessible discussion of what it might mean to "have the same attitude of mind that Christ Jesus had" in our contemporary multi-religious world.
