Acknowledgments

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for those who have supported or contributed to the completion of this book. This includes my students and colleagues at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, who have challenged and stimulated my thinking on numerous aspects of the project. Dr. Harold Netland deserves special thanks for his helpful bibliography on world religions. I am also indebted to those individuals who provided feedback on all or part of the manuscript. Jim Kinney and Brandy Scritchfield on the editorial team at Baker Academic read and critiqued several early chapters of the book. They, along with my editor, Eric Salo, provided the necessary help and support to bring the project to fruition. As an outside reader, Dr. Brian Stanley went above and beyond the call of duty. He thoroughly read the whole manuscript and provided valuable feedback on how to improve the book, for which I am truly grateful. Finally, this book would not exist without the support of my husband, Dr. Craig Ott. He encouraged me to write the book and interacted with me frequently throughout the research and writing process. Many thanks to you all!
