Interfaith dialogue: perspectives from a protestant theology

Main Article Content

Carlos Ribeiro Caldas Filho

Abstract

Interfaith dialogue (IFD) has been a border issue in theology at least in the last five decades of the last century. Different theoretical possibilities of approaches to such a question have been raised, e.g., exclusivism, inclusivism and pluralism. Therefore, there are remarkable contributions to this from a Catholic perspective, by Westerner theologians: Europeans (e.g., Claude Geffré, Jacques Dupuis and Karl Rahner), Americans (e.g., Roger Haight and Paul Knitter), Brazilians (e.g., Faustino Teixeira and RoberleiPanasiewicz) and by Asians alike (inter alia, Michael Amaladoss, RaimonPanikkar, TissaBalasurya and Aloysius Pieris). Technical literature in Brazil has its focus mainly on this Catholic contribution. As a consequence, not much about the Protestant understanding of the theme has been said. Therefore, this article intends to present some Protestant contributions to the theory (and practice) of interfaith dialogue.
