In 2005 Peter Phan received a notification from the Vatican identifying "errors and ambiguities" in his 2004 Orbis title, Being Religious Interreligiously. This set in motion a long train of correspondence, requiring Phan to answer various questions about the salvific role of Christ and the Church. Here at last is his response-a spirited affirmation of the methods of Asian theology, which, though rooted in the gospel and the deposit of faith, differ in many respects from the assumptions and categories of traditional European theology. In addition to introducing Asian theology, Phan addresses the specific topic of religious pluralism, a source not simply of challenge to Christian self-understanding and mission, but a potential source of "joy." An appendix includes his correspondence with church authorities.
