The Past, Present, and Future of Theologies of Interreligious Dialogue

Zusatztext It supplies historical case studies from the past, assesses our context of religious dialogue in the present, and projects a number of future possibilities for engaging religious otherness with mutual respect and admiration. This book will appeal to Catholic Christians in particular ... [it] will be helpful for those who are willing to consider the necessity for a healthy dialogue among differing religious adherents, and who are equally convinced that a one-size-fits-all approach is, indeed, practically impossible. In that regard, the diverse opinions of this book provide much food for thought. Informationen zum Autor Terrence Merrigan is Professor of Systematic Theology in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies at the University of Leuven.John Friday is a postdoctoral researcher in Theology and Religious Studies at the University of Leuven. Klappentext A collection of thirteen essays which reflect on the problematic relationship between religious diversity and interreligious dialogue by examining key issues that arise from attempting to do justice to the doctrinal tradition of Christianity. Zusammenfassung The Past, Present and Future of Theology of Interreligious Dialogue brings together several of the most widely regarded specialists who have contributed to theological reflection on religious diversity and interreligious encounter. The chapters are united by the consistent theme of the obligation to engage with the challenges that emerge from the tension between the doctrinal tradition(s) of Christianity and the need to reconsider them in light of and in response to the fact of religious otherness. As a whole, these reflections are motivated by the desire to bring together a significant selection of different theological approaches that have been developed and appropriated in order to engage with religious difference in the past and present, as well as to suggest possibilities for the future. This confluence of perspectives reveals the complexity of theological reflection on religious diversity, and gives some indication of future challenges that must be acknowledged, and perhaps successfully met, in the ongoing attempt to address a universal reality in light of traditional doctrinal particularities and cultural concerns.

Résumé
The Past, Present and Future of Theology of Interreligious Dialogue brings together several of the most widely regarded specialists who have contributed to theological reflection on religious diversity and interreligious encounter. The chapters are united by the consistent theme of the obligation to engage with the challenges that emerge from the tension between the doctrinal tradition(s) of Christianity and the need to reconsider them in light of and in response to the fact of religious otherness. As a whole, these reflections are motivated by the desire to bring together a significant selection of different theological approaches that have been developed and appropriated in order to engage with religious difference in the past and present, as well as to suggest possibilities for the future. This confluence of perspectives reveals the complexity of theological reflection on religious diversity, and gives some indication of future challenges that must be acknowledged, and perhaps successfully met, in the ongoing attempt to address a universal reality in light of traditional doctrinal particularities and cultural concerns.
