| Summary: | The Other: Hermeneutics of Recognition -- What Makes a Religion? Experience and Semiosis -- A Basis for Comparison? On "religious experience" as Universals or particulars -- Who is the Other? Categories for Relationships Revisited -- The Stuff of Religions: Dealing with the Human Condition -- Salvation in the Context of Religious Practices -- Truth and Religious Orientations -- Conflict and the Common Good -- Coming Together in Reasoning Practice -- The Trinitarian God and the Diversity of Experiences with Religion -- Plurality and Unity: Two metaphors for the Future of Religions. "Inspired by pragmatism, this book addresses religious plurality with the aim of bringing forth how it may be approached constructively by Christian theology. Accordingly, not doctrine, but practices are focussed in its analyses of interreligious topics. Henriksen argues that engagement with the diversity of religious traditions should be grounded in openness towards the other, and resistance against making others similar to oneself. Accordingly, the book presents a theological approach where interaction between religious practitioners is considered a benefit and a necessity for the positive future of religious traditions. It will be of interest to anyone who is interested in the understanding of religious pluralism from the point of view of Christian theology"-- |
