Concept of Inclusive Pluralism

When people of different cultures and religious traditions are being constantly drawn closer together, interreligious dialogue becomes not only a strategy to understand the "e;Others,"e; but also an attitude to deepen one's faith. Christian faith acknowledges other religious traditions as genuine "e;ways"e; and "e;channels"e; of salvation for their adherents and that religions have a place in God's universal plan of salvation for humankind. The plausibility of this assertion can be exemplified by the concept of "e;inclusive pluralism,"e; a theological model developed by the Belgian-born Jesuit theologian Jacques Dupuis. This book expounds that concept and reflects on its implication for the Catholic Church's unwavering commitment to interreligious dialogue.
