A Place on Earth
Details
With the relations between the religions assuming an increasingly high profile in the modern world, the so-called inter-religious dialogue has taken on commensurate urgency. After many decades of congresses, seminars, inter-faith encounters and contacts, both positive and negative between the faiths, the dialogue appears to have stalled in an ethical cul-de-sac as the different religions reach the limits of what is theologically negotiable. That brings into question the very concept of 'dialogue' and its potential as a means of achieving the much-sought 'peace among the religions' in a world riven by religious conflict. This monograph, a reworking of Dr. Suchard s doctoral dissertation, examines the question of what has led to the current stagnation, especially with regard to the Abrahamic monotheisms, and considers whether it is possible to bring a theological component back to the dialogue.
