Produktbeschreibung
Living and working under the oppressive Soviet
regime, Fr. Aleksandr Men` managed to develop an
extensive body of scholarly and pastoral work that
established him as one of the most influential
Russian Orthodox writers of the 20th century. This
study focuses on his view of the world s religions
examined in light of the Roman Catholic declaration
Dominus Iesus. Lukasevicius divides his theological
analysis into three areas: the place of Jesus Christ
among other leaders of the world s religions; the
teachings and practices of non-biblical religions in
comparison to the revelation of Jesus Christ; the
concept of faith as human response to Christ s
revelation compared to the notion of belief, as seen
by Men`, in non-biblical religions. It is argued
here that before the promulgation of Dominus Iesus,
Aleksandr Men` had already developed an
explicitly Christian approach to other religions,
generally consistent with the Papal document.
Lukasevicius offers a thorough analysis of Men` s
works, contributing to Christian theology s further
understanding of the complexities of inter-religious
dialogue.
