Includes bibliographical references and index
Contents: pt. 1 Religious pluralism Pluralist awakenings in Christianity Judaism and the many covenants Submission to a divinely willed diversity: Islamic pluralism Is Hinduism a pluralist religion The difficult road to pluralist in Buddhism Pluralist inclinations in Chinese religions pt. 2 Interreligious theology From religious pluralism to interreligious theology Interreligious theology: principles and methodology The prophet and the son The son and the Buddha The Buddha and the prophet Toward and interreligious theology of creation A fractal interpretation of religious diversity
Interreligious dialogue has encouraged many theologians in all major religious traditions to consider whether other religions may offer a different but nevertheless genuine and valid path of salvation or liberation. Perry Schmidt- Leukel, in this extended version of his 2015 Gifford Lectures, argues that this position--often called "religious pluralism"--must be developed within particular insights supplied by each of the major traditions. Although severe barriers to religious pluralism exist within each tradition, he shows nevertheless that possibilities for a pluralist understanding exist in Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Chinese religions. Interreligious theology, he argues, carries the promise of being the theology of the future. (Publisher).
