      abstract = {Is dialogue between the major religions of the world  possible? If it is possible, under what conditions? In this  book, Michael H. Mitias argues that it is possible provided  various conditions are met. These conditions include mutual  respect, mutual understanding, and God-centeredness. First,  how can a religion that is unusually complexcomposed of a  doctrine founded in a unique divine revelation, a  leadership class of theologians, teachers, clergy, and  administrators, and a community across global culturesshow  uniform respect to another religion? How can a complex  institution like a religion truly understand another  religion? Third, can the different religions worship the  same God if their conceptions of God are based on their  unique doctrines? Mitias addresses these questions and  argues that it is possible for religions to respect and  understand one another. Further, he argues that the  different conceptions of God are necessarily founded in a  belief in the existence of a transcendent, infinite, and  wise being. Michael H. Mitias is a retired Professor of  Philosophy at Millsaps College, USA. He has published  numerous articles and books in the area of aesthetics,  philosophy of religions, political philosophy, and ethics.  His most recent books are The Transformative Power of Love  (2020), Death, Family and Love (2020), and The Philosopher  Converses with God (2019).},
