AB On the occasion of my retirement from Xavier University, and at the request of some long-time friends I have the opportunity to reflect on what has happened to me during these forty years of trying to combine my vocation as a Catholic theologian with what I felt was a "call" (therefore, also a vocatio) to take persons of other religions seriously and to dialogue with them. 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.
