Ya sea implícita o explícitamente, las fronteras siempre han albergado un profundo significado teológico. La frontera es, por un lado, un instrumento para establecer una identidad, al desmarcarse uno mismo de los demás, pero, por otro lado, también puede experimentarse como una posibilidad de intercambio. En nuestra época, observamos un profundo cambio en la experiencia existencial de la frontera. Las razones son muchas: los problemas relacionados con el cambio climático, el acceso a agua y aire limpios, las diferencias de desarrollo y de recursos económicos y financieros, la inestabilidad política y la violencia están empujando a cada vez más personas de todo el mundo a cruzar fronteras. La teología está profundamente involucrada en esta reflexión, pero debe entablar un diálogo con otras disciplinas.

Gran parte del diálogo teológico de las últimas décadas se ha centrado en lo que el cristianismo puede aprender de otras tradiciones religiosas. El cristianismo, religión minoritaria en la mayoría de los países asiáticos, se ha visto obligado, más que en la mayoría de los demás continentes, a reflexionar de forma autocrítica sobre lo que tiene que ofrecer y cómo debe relacionarse con otras religiones y con la cultura secular. En esos aspectos, tiene mucho que ofrecer al resto del mundo teológico. Con las historias de Jesús como historia del Reino de Dios reflejadas en las historias de las culturas asiáticas, volveremos a reexaminar la teología cristiana con una nueva mirada.

Nuevos desarrollos de la teología en Asia

"Though women have been objects more often than subjects of interreligious dialogue, they have nevertheless contributed in significant ways to the dialogue, just as the dialogue has also contributed to their own self-understanding. This volume, the fifth in the Interreligious Dialogue Series, brings together historical, critical, and constructive approaches to the role of women in the dialogue between religions. These approaches deal with concrete examples of women's involvement in dialogue, critical reflections on the representation of women in dialogue, and the important question of what women might bring to the dialogue. Together, they open up new avenues for reflection on the nature and purpose of interreligious dialogue. "

Women and Interreligious Dialogue

In the face of competing religious claims in our shrinking world, many turn to dialogue as a hopeful way of fostering understanding and reducing violence. But why does actual dialogue so often fail? This provocative study investigates the possibilities and limits of interreligious dialogue. By showing the significant obstacles for dialogue within Christianity, the book also proposes ways in which these obstacles may be overcome from within. Major themes include Humility, Conviction, Interconnection, Empathy, and Generosity.

Criteria of Discernment in Interreligious Dialogue

These superb essays explore the phenomenon of individuals who identity themselves as followers of more than one religious tradition. The results prove that the late Joseph Kitagawa was prescient when he cautioned that the world is "Easternizing" as much as it is "Westernizing," and that "modernization" is a far from adequate key to name what is happening in world religious history in our age.

Multiple Religious Belonging and Christian Identity

From T.S. Eliot to Bede Griffiths, many a Christian thinker has found in the Bhagavad Gita a source of genuine spiritual insight and inspiration. As Christians continue to explore the text in a spirit of dialogue, new points of theological interest are discovered and new insights gained into the meaning and importance of the text for Christian thought and practice. In this collection of Christian commentaries on the Bhagavad Gita, Christian theologians and scholars of Hinduism offer a variety of different perspectives on the text using a diversity of commentarial approaches and styles, from close textual analysis and exegetical comparison to a more general theological reflection on the text, from comparison of the Gita with a particular Christian classic to a focus on specific religious categories such as detachment, incarnation and eschatology. While some contributions focus mainly on the similarities between Christian thought and the Gita, others also engage differences in a mutually critical and constructive way. Each of these commentaries thus offers a distinctive lens through which Christians may read the Bhagavad Gita, and points to the endless possibility and promise of inter-religious hermeneutics, or the religious reading of a sacred text from another religious tradition.

The fair and equitable distribution of wealth and the cultivation of proper attitudes toward material goods and economic development concern all religious traditions alike. In so far as the dynamics of the world market or the global economic system transcend the competency and control of any particular religion, dialogue between religions, as well as between religionists and economists becomes both possible and necessary. This volume brings together religious thinkers from various traditions as well as economists to reflect on the possibilities and the challenges of such dialogue.
