Excerpts
Description
This book discusses religious diversity and examines the significance of interreligious dialogue by exploring religions of the world: the religions that began in India; Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism; Chinese religions including Confucianism and Daoism as well as Korean and Japanese religions. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, each of which traces its ancestry to Abraham, are discussed in terms of their development in the West as well as in the Middle East, where they began.
Finally, how to understand religious diversity in a religiously pluralist society is considered. By discussing four different responses to religious diversity, exclusivism, inclusivism, relativism, and pluralism, the last chapter examines the problems and significance of each response for interreligious dialogue.
