Between Relativism and Fundamentalism

The book explores the tension between relativism and fundamentalism, two prevailing extremes in contemporary culture. Peter Berger leads a discussion among scholars who seek to define a middle ground that acknowledges specific truth claims while promoting tolerance. The first part provides sociological insights into the impact of these extremes in today’s society, while the second part features contributions from various Christian and Jewish traditions that articulate a normative stance, advocating for a balanced approach that respects differing beliefs without resorting to dogmatism.
