Before We Call Them Strangers provides an overview of the basic teachings of three major world religions: Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism. But this is much more than a textbook. After introducing each religion, Dr. Dybdahl shares personal interviews with two adherents of each faith. You will find these more intimate conversations with devout Muslims, Buddhists, and Hindus to be thought-provoking and perhaps even surprising.

Next, Dr. Dybdahl reflects on what we might learn from this process of prayerful engagement with those of other faiths. In the final chapter, readers will find a list of twelve areas of commonality among these religions and receive the Great Commission challenge.

Paul Dybdahl serves as a professor of missiology in the School of Theology at Walla Walla University in College Place, Washington.
