Daunting choices in transreligious theology

Le résumé fourni par la source

Theologians approaching the transreligious domain often wonder how to proceed. There are so many choices as to content and so many methodological options that it is easy to feel baffled or overwhelmed. With this possibility in mind, the authors develop a practical case study intended to name some profound choices, to illustrate one way in which those choices might be navigated, and to invite adventurous theologians to ask themselves what decisions they would make. The case study illustrates the key point that the daunting choices faced by the transreligious theologian are often not between religions – because for transreligious theologians the relevant data, concepts, and methods are not restricted to those of a single tradition – but rather between theological possibilities that cut across the religions. The focus of the case study is on ideas of ultimate reality, which is a critical consideration for most kinds of theological work and a peculiarly complex consideration for the transreligious theologian.
