He also stresses the need for religious communities to be inclusive and tolerant, recognizing the diversity of beliefs and practices that exist within and across different traditions.Overall, The Known And The Unknowable In Religion is a challenging and thought-provoking exploration of the nature of religious knowledge and the limits of human understanding.
