In doing so, the dissertation performs its major claim: I argue for the necessity of cross-cultural theological comparisons to navigate contemporary theological and religious questions, including the complex nature of Christianity in the world today.}, pagetotal = {292}, institution = {Department of Religious Studies, University of Virginia}, type = {phdthesis}, author = {Hartman, Timothy}, date = {2014}, note = {Free}, }
