Description
Summary:This essay seeks to identify the differences between theology without walls and comparative religion, comparative theology, and interreligious dialogue. All of these undertakings call for interreligious engagements, but because theology without walls aims not just at what is similar but also at what is true and life-giving, it differs clearly from comparative religion but resembles comparative theology and interreligious dialogue. But, because theology without walls does not have a “home base” in one religious tradition, it differs from both comparative theology and interreligious dialogue. Finally, because the theologian without borders must have multiple home bases, theology without walls bears the greatest resemblance to what is today called Double Belonging.
