The Study of Christian Religions and Other Religions

Martin Jäggle ; Katholisch-Theologische Fakultät der Universität Wien, Wien, Austrija

Abstract

Because of religious pluralism Christian school religion must accept "the others" as a part of their study, engage in dialogue with them but not because of apologetical reasons or in an apologetical manner. The author underlines the problem of comparing religions and understanding others and offers some new perspectives. He explains four proposals, amoung others: the need for direction in respecting religious diversity, the culture of reciprocal recognition, helping each other in studying the truth (Second Vatican Council).
