Plural Voices: Intradisciplinary Perspectives on Interreligious Issues (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789042920729)

Our times are characterised by globalism and pluralism. Both characteristics are strongly intertwined. The aim of this book is to contribute to the reflection on everyday practical issues as well as on conceptual frameworks regarding a multicultural and a multireligious Europe. The reader will find texts about philosophical problems, theoretical presuppositions and the ethical problems involved in taking political decisions on multiculturalism. Other articles deal with theological challenges and methodological issues that are useful for people trying to understand the multireligious nature of our times. The authors have various cultural, academic and methodological backgrounds, but share one thing: they all have been engaged in religious meetings and dialogues. The broad spectrum of writers and themes reflects the guiding principle of Plural Voices: many issues have to be discussed from different perspectives in order to try to understand interreligious relations.
