  Controversies In Interreligious Dialogue And The Theology Of Religions

  $52.99

  This book provides a guide and critical extension to contemporary controversies in the theology of religions and interfaith dialogue.aaIt addresses questions raised through certain postmodern theologies (which present an option herein termed particularity), which suggest that the whole enterprise of the theology of religions, as currently understood, is fundamentally misguided and suggest instead an alternative approach. aaPaul Hedges reflects on how the traditional typology for the theology of religions (exclusivism u inclusivism u pluralism) may be rethought and seen as viable, offering a reformulation of it and critically assesses the main line of critique from post-modern theology, that of particularity, and its alternative vision. Finally, he suggests ways forward and considers how these debates impact on the practice in interfaith dialogue.aaInterreligious dialogue is a core subject in most theology and religious studies courses in university departments and theological colleges.

  Christian Approaches To Other Faiths

  $52.99

  Christianity and Other Religions is divided along the same lines as the textbook(9780334041146). In the first section, readings are divided according to the sub-sections, providing at least one reading for each, with those paradigms which have been more influential, receiving most attention. Importantly a number of readings will also be given critical of the approach in question. The second section contains at least two readings per section, both adopting a different way of understanding that faith. This provides a positive and negative attitude to the faith in question, or highlights the work of two influential commentators. While the emphasis is on contemporary works, important historical readings are included. A short introduction to each text means that, like the Core Text, the work can be used as a stand alone text.

  Christian Approaches To Other Faiths

  $44.99

  The textbook begins with a chapter on exclusivism, inclusivism, particularity and pluralism, and one on interfaith. Each chapter explains the history, rationale and workings of the various approaches. Moreover, each is divided into sub-sections dealing with various forms of each approach, so that each may be appreciated in its individuality, i.e. the chapter on ‘Inclusivism’ will include sections on ‘fulfilment theology’ ‘anonymous Christians’, etc.The second part of this textbook deals with attitudes towards different faiths, considering the problems and relations that exist with Christian approaches to each. It will deal with the world’s major faiths as well as primal religions and new religious movements. The introduction and conclusion will deal with some central themes that run throughout, in particular, the questions of the Trinity and concepts of salvation.
