timothy johnson, abc news chief medical correspondent, who is also an ordained minister of the evangelical covenant church, refers to bennett as "a fine scholar and student of world religions", and recommends "in search of jesus" as "an amazing compendium of the many attempts to capture the story of jesus by both insiders (those who claim to be christians) and outsiders (those of other religious traditions)." "you can", he continues, "look up almost any writer on the subject of jesus and find a brief but fair summary of the person's writing and point of view ... it is a great one stop source of quick summary information." the fourth 'in search of' book, "in search of solutions: the problem of religion and conflict" appeared in 2008 as part of a series edited by rosemary radford ruether and lisa isherwood. the fifth, "in search of understanding: reflections on christian engagement with muslims after four decades," published in 2019, reprises some of bennett's earlier writing and attempts to offer some suggestions on how congregations might rethink their ideas about muslims and cooperate with them in peace and justice advocacy, and social and community development. ataullah siddiqui, who wrote the foreword, comments, "bennett’s treatment of the subject is never dull and is always rewarding. his handling of the issues central to christian-muslim relations reveals a reflective mind that is not satisfied with the soporific effects of ‘relaxed’ dialogue. he enquires, investigates, and challenges where necessary, and proposes new avenues in order to explore future relations.”
