The "vocation of an interreligious theologian" is really the meeting and, as it were, mating of two vocations, two calls that make very real and definite and often contrasting claims on the same person. What follows is a "retrospective" on how I have attempted to walk one path in response to two calls—to be a Catholic theologian and to be an interreligious dialoguer. |
