Who is My Neighbour?

neighbourby Martin Goldsmith & Rosemary Harley

 

This is a book about communicating with people of other faiths. First published in 1988 with a second edition in 2002, it is a very well written and easy to understand book. It explains the beliefs held by other faiths and highlights the ways in which Christians can positively engage with their followers.

I have read a number of similar books in the past but all have tended to be rather critical and negative of the faiths they examine. Martin and Rosemary (a member of St Leonard's) don't do this; they describe the faiths in a open and non-judgemental way. They then go on to suggest positive approaches that might lead to us being able to share and openly discuss Christianity with them.
