Christianity and the Religions: From Confrontation to Dialogue

This volume offers new insights on Christian relations with the followers of other religious traditions. Dupuis begins by reviewing the history of the Western Christian tradition's teaching on other religious Ways through the breakthrough at Vatican Council II. He then reviews the critical issues of uniqueness of Christ and Christian proposals to account for the mediation of salvation in other religious Ways, while discussing the relationship between the Reign of God, the Church, and the Religions. Dupuis also explores the nature and role of dialogue in a pluralistic society, and lends sage reflections on interreligious prayer.
