Interreligious Hermeneutics

World Religions

“The implications of understanding between the religions are as unclear as it is clear that such understanding is badly needed. What is intriguing about this volume is not only that it enters this still widely uncharted territory but that many of its contributions explore which light the continental tradition of hermeneutic philosophy might shed on this field.”

My Journey as a Religious Pluralist

World Religions

“Race’s selection of essays from the past three decades shows that any attempt to evade the central questions of a theology of religions by focusing on interfaith dialogue and global cooperation inevitably fails. For open and sincere interfaith encounter is precisely what first and foremost triggers such questions. Christianity has always gone through significant transformations when it became necessary. A meticulous observer and profound analyst of theological debates, Race convincingly argues that the time is more ripe than ever for further change: consistently surrendering Christian absolutism and wholeheartedly endorsing pluralism.”
