The Call of the Awe Interreligious dialogue is not only a timely topic in world affairs; it is also the emerging environment in which Christian theology needs to be written. Religion / General To order go to iUniverse Why do we do religion? Religion appears in human life because every human being, even if not fully aware of it, lives in a land of mystery with rushing rivers of freedom, imposing mountains of care, and wild seas of tranquility. This land of mystery penetrates the land of ordinary living at every point. Awe is our experience of this ever-present Eternity. The Call of the Awe describes how Awe-happenings in our everyday lives are the key to understanding both the renewal of Christianity and the need for non-bigoted dialogue among all the religions on Earth. After exploring how Awe gives depth to Christian theology, the author demonstrates how Awe give depth to our dialogue with Islam, Judaism, Taoism, Buddhism, Hinduism, the Goddess heritage of early civilizations, and the religions of tribal antiquity. Gene Marshall has a long history of participation in Christian renewal and interreligious dialogue. For fourteen years he was a staff member of the Ecumenical Institute. For seven years he was the dean of an 8-week residential leadership-training program for religious leadership and inquirers from all over the world. He led seven similar programs in Europe, India, Hong Kong, The Philippines, and Australia. He has a bachelor’s degree in mathematics, a master’s degree in theology, and extensive further study. For the last 20 years, he has been doing full-time research and training for Realistic Living, a nonprofit organization for religious and ethical research.
