Theology and the Dialogue of Religions: Cambridge Studies in Christian Doctrine

Theology of religions is an area of theological reflection on inter-religious relations which raises fundamental questions not just for Christians but for all people of faith in a pluralist, post-modern world. How to practise a religious faith with integrity while respecting other claims to ultimate truth? Must ‘the other’ always be regarded as a problematic complication on the fringes of a Christianity-centred world? Is there a ‘third way’ between an all dominating exclusivism and a tacit relativism? This book contributes to the debate about the place of inter-religious relations in the life of the Church by developing a ‘theology of dialogue’. In offering a critique of much current thinking in this area, Michael
Barnes SJ proposes instead a theology rooted in the themes of welcome and hospitality. He argues for a vision of Christianity as a ‘school of faith’, a community called not just to teach others but to learn from them as well.

Info Detail Spesifik

Cambridge Studies in Christian Doctrine is an important series which aims to engage critically with the traditional doctrines of Christianity, and at the same time to locate and make sense of them within a secular context. Without losing sight of the authority of scripture and the traditions of the church, the books in this series subject pertinent dogmas and credal statements to careful scrutiny, analysing them in light of the insights of both church and society, and thereby practising theology in the fullest sense of the word.
