This front matter section of the book titled Religions Challenged by Contingency: Theological and Philosophical Approaches to the Problem of Contingency contains the table of contents and preface. The recent growth of religious plurality in the Western world, and especially the rise of non-Christian religions, not only challenges churches and societies, but also pose new and unexpected questions to systematic theology and philosophy of religion. One of the most important questions is whether religions and secular world views are nothing but contingent systems of belief and practice, solely dependent on cultural, economical, geographical, etc., circumstances.
