should be understood and carried on in an ecumenical age. The Faith Meets Faith Series that
he began with Dr. Paul Knitter and edited at Orbis has been acclaimed internationally as the
most important series of books illuminating interfaith concerns.
In 1989, Bill became managing editor of Orbis Books, Maryknoll, New York, where he supervised acquisitions in the areas of interfaith issues, history, faith and intercultural adaptation,
ecology, ecumenism, and evangelization and mission. His other area of special concentration at
Orbis revolved around the theology of mission, and during his tenure there Orbis
became known worldwide as the most significant publisher of missiological research.
He is the editor of Jacques Dupuis Faces the Inquisition (2012) and Redemption and
