Some in the Christian community saw the gathering as a sign of the approaching fulfillment of the missionary's hope to evangelize the world, while others saw a divided Christendom under threat from the religions of the East. Richard Hughes Seager explores this fascinating event in all its complexities and, in a new preface, summarizes recent research and reflects on religious pluralism in an age of religious extremism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51707861598496,"sku":"NEW0253221668","price":27.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71WpiA5nUkL.jpg?v=1779393707","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-worlds-parliament-of-religions-the-eastwest-encounter-chicago-1893-religion-in-north-america-0253221668","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
