Caracteristici
While
there
has
been
some
important
writing
in
the
field
of
comparative
theology,
there
has
been
no
extended,
critical
reflection
on
the
state
of
the
discipline
in
its
modern
version,
its
strengths
and
problematic
areas
as
it
grows
as
a
serious
theological
and
scholarly
discipline.
This
work
of
young
scholars
in
conversation
with
one
another,
remedies
this
lack
by,
as
it
were,
taking
the
discipline
apart
and
putting
it
back
together
again.

Recenzii
'Francis
Clooney
has
distilled
in
this
book
decades
of
his
massive
and
painstaking
scholarship
on
Christian
and
Hindu
theologies.
Lucidly
written
and
highly
accessible,
"Comparative
Theology"
teaches
us
how
to
read
sacred
texts---our
own
and
others'---with
humble
minds
and
open
hearts,
so
that
we
can
see
both
similarities
and
differences
between
our
religious
tradition
and
others'.
Warning
us
not
to
take
his
book
as
a
recipe
for
doing
comparative
theology.
Clooney
invites
us
to
join
him
in
developing,
each
in
our
own
fields
of
specialization,
this
emerging
theological
discipline,
of
which
he
richly
deserves
to
be
called
"the
Father."
"Comparative
Theology"
is
destined
to
be
a
classic
in
its
field.'

'In this excellent collection of essays, young scholars explore the theoretical foundations of comparative theology, which is itself a relatively young field compared to the theology of religions. These essays indicate some of the fascinating ways in which comparative theology can be imagined, opened up, learnt, re-learnt and performed; and one hopes that the thoughtful and essentially optimistic program of research suggested by these scholars will see fruition in the years to come. The concluding response by the editor, the distinguished pioneer of comparative theology, Francis X. Clooney, provides an ideal foil to the essays. This methodologically wide-ranging collection should have a significant impact on the shape of comparative theology, and much for the better.' - Chakravarthi Ram-Prasad, Department of Religious Studies, University of Lancaster, UK.
'At times musical and analytic, narrative and poetic, this fantastic volume introduces the reader to a new generation of the 'deep listening' characteristic of comparative theology. A vibrant range of voices illuminates the many disciplines with which comparative theology engages. From pilgrimage and lived experience to the political and mission studies, with history, gender, supercessionism and liberation, the authors explore the theological fruits and ethical dimensions of cross-appropriation and comparison. These scholars offer challenging assessments of the field as well as new methods and models, all the while extending the invitation to the open-ended project that is comparative theology. This book serves beautifully as an introduction to the discipline, ringing true with original insights from new comparative theologians while communicating also the continued presence of forerunners and mentors who have shaped the field. This is not just a volume for comparativists, but for all theologians and anyone interested in doing theology in our interreligious world.' - Jeannine Hill Fletcher, Fordham University, Bronx NY, USA.
'For sometime now there has been a buzz in the academy about the new discipline called "Comparative Theology," about which not much is known except that its trailblazers are theologians such as Francis Clooney and James Fredericks. With this volume Comparative Theology has developed into a full-fledged body of knowledge with a clear methodology and important contributors. The younger theologians are by no means disciples of their gurus. Their new voices are dialectical and constructive, and they help us move beyond the theology of religion into rich and exciting experiments in comparison. No contemporary theologian can afford ignoring this book and the new theology its proposes.' - Peter C. Phan, The Ignacio Ellacuria Chair of Catholic Social Thought, Theology Department, Georgetown University, Washington, D.C., USA
These essays make an important contribution to comparative theology and to our understanding of the inter-religious pilgrimage and its problems. This volume is recommended for anyone interested in doing theology in a pluralistic world.
