A groundbreaking scholarly work, Deep Religious Pluralism is based on the conviction that the philosophy articulated by Alfred North Whitehead encourages not only religious diversity but deep religious pluralism. Arising from a 2003 Center for Process Studies conference at Claremont Graduate University, this book offers an alternative to the version of religious pluralism that has dominated the recent discussion, especially among Christian thinkers in the West, which has evoked a growing call to reject pluralism as such.
Renowned contributors of a diversity of faiths include: Steve Odin, John Shunji Yakota, Sandra B. Lubarsky, Jeffery D. Long, Mustafa Ruzgar, Christopher Ives, Michael Lodahl, Chung-ying Cheng, Wang Shik Jang, and John B. Cobb Jr.

David Tracy, author of "Dialogue with the Other" "No Christian theologian has attended to the issue of religious pluralism---from his earliest work to the present---more than John Cobb. This book shows how deeply we are all in his debt."
David R. Loy, author of "A Buddhist History of the West" "This state-of-the-art collection demonstrates how a Whitehead-based approach encourages more genuinely pluralistic forms of religious pluralism."
John Berthrong, author of "The Divine Deli" "Bookended between contributions by Griffin and Cobb is an exemplary set of essays that articulate the value, purpose, and range of reflections on religious pluralism, including major statements from Jewish, Islamic, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Confucian and Daoist perspectives."
Rabbi Michael Lerner, editor of Tikkun Magazine "In a world torn by religious antagonism, strife, and crusades, David Ray Griffin’s collection Deep Religious Pluralism offers a path of hope.
Catherine Keller, author of "Face of the Deep" "A ripe and rigorous contribution to religious pluralism: this is a groundbreaking text, invaluable for advancing the conversation beyond fusion or fragmentation."
Paul F. Knitter, author of "One Earth Many Religions" "I found this book to be as unsettling as it was exciting. In its opening chapters, Griffin rehearses and strengthens current criticisms leveled against pluralist theologians; then he comes to their rescue by offering a new foundation that will assure a more authentic, or deeper, pluralistic understanding of religious differences."
Clark Pinnock, author of "Most Moved Mover" "As an evangelical, I welcome forms of religious pluralism that do not, as this book does not, undermine the distinctive truths of Christianity and whose pluralism thus does not end up in debilitating relativism."
Owen Thomas, editor of "Attitudes Toward Other Religions" "[A] very important clarification of the current discussion of religious plurality and a strong proposal for the next step in a theory of religious pluralism. The editor, David Ray Griffin, has done a superb job.
Adnan Aslan, author of "Religious Pluralism in Christian and Islamic Pluralism" "A significant contribution to the process of shaping a deep understanding of the world religions." Kenneth Surin, author of "Theology and the Problem of Evil" "This collection of essays, on the many complex issues associated with religious pluralism, engages widely and impressively with the tradition deriving from Alfred North Whitehead, one of the great modern philosophers."
