About this title

Synopsis

Interreligious dialogue has gained popular attention since the second Vatican Council. New avenues and opportunities widen as growth in mutual understanding of the religions find deeper meaning. It is not uncommon that some misinterpret the Church's teachings and its position in this field too generous a fashion that ends up being syncretic and relativistic. There is often a tendency for an egalitarian approach in matters concerning truth even to the extent of separating truth from religion. This book is an attempt to revisit the Council's teachings on world religions and the place of dialogue in the life of the Church. What does the Church actually teach regarding inter-religious dialogue? What ressourcement the Council found in the Fathers of the Church that is still powerful and significant? This book will aid those involved in inter-religious dialogue, particularly to deepen his own commitment to the Church.
