Interreligious Hermeneutics and the Pursuit of Truth

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Interreligious Hermeneutics and the Pursuit of Truth argues that in inter-religious dialogue, we must not dismiss truth claims-whether metaphysical, ethical, or aesthetic-as mere cultural preference or existential display. Though such claims contain the uncomfortable possibility of conflict, they can also be rationally contested, and even synthesized in the service of broader, more adequate worldviews.
