In this incisive and important volume, Jacques Dupuis offers new insights on the most important issue facing Christian theology today -- giving an account of Christian faith as Christians go more deeply along the road of dialogue and collaboration with the followers of other religious traditions. His task is to square a dogmatic circle. How does one do justice to the Gospel claim that Jesus the Christ is the final and universal savior of all humankind in every age, while also doing justice to the experience that truth, grace, holiness, and power are experienced in other religious traditions? In the first six chapters Dupuis reviews the history of the Western Christian tradition's teaching on other religious Ways through the breakthrough at Vatican Council II. In chapters 7 and 8 he reviews the critical issues of uniqueness of Christ and Christian proposals to account for the mediation of salvation in other religious Ways. He discusses also the relationship between the Reign of God, the Church, and the Religions. In chapter 9 he explores the nature and role of dialogue in a pluralistic society. In chapter 10 offers sage reflections on interreligious prayer.

History

In this book, Jacques Dupuis brings together a lifetime of study, reflection, and experience in both Europe and Asia to outline a significant shift in Christian theological understanding of world religious pluralism. The premise of Toward a Christian Theology of Religious Pluralism is that the question has shifted from whether "salvation" occurs for members of other religious traditions to how in God's plan these traditions mediate salvation to their members.

Toward a Christian Theology of Religious Pluralism

Preface by Gerald O'Collins, SJ Before his death more than twelve years ago, Jacques Dupuis, a prominent Catholic theologian who faced a long persecution by his own church for his teachings on religious pluralism, sat down for a book-length interview with Gerard O'Connell, a noted Catholic journalist, for America. Dupuis insisted that the frank and honest transcript ("unburdened and unbuttoned," in the words of a fellow Jesuit) not be published until after he died and certain other curial figures were out of office. This hidden treasure is finally unburied and presents not only Dupuis' life story (including his tragic final years) but also his views on religious pluralism, interreligious dialogue, and ecclesiology.
