It is no longer controversial to grant that other religions have the same potential for salvation as our own. In this climate of plurality we are increasingly called upon to respond to the claims made by other religions on this issue. In this regard, Christians should know about their own Christian position and need to enter into a dialogue within their own church before they can engage fruitfully with other religions, other churches and communities. This book gives stimulus to an active dialogue between religions by arguing that interfaith dialogue in its depth entails an all comprising sharing, mutual openness and the proclamation of active faith in words and deeds.

About the Author

Hans Waldenfels is a German Jesuit who studied theology and religions in Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Kyoto, and then later in Rome. He was a disciple of the school of the Japanese philosophers Keiji Nishitani and Yoshinori Takeuchi, later also of Masao Abe, in Tokyo, and of Heinrich Dumoulin, the historian of Zen Buddhism. In Bonn he followed Joseph Ratzinger and Heimo Dolchin the chair of fundamental theology. Under him the chair in theology was the first in Germany to include interreligious dialogue. Waldenfels has been deeply engaged in the practice of dialogue with representatives of Asian religions, and also with Moslems and Jews. For him dialogue is less a question of theory and reflection than of personal encounter and contact.
