Description
Summary:Theology has begun to work fruitfully under the cultural conditions of religious pluralization, detraditionalization, and individualization. Respect for conscience is original to the earliest notions of faith as such, and contemporary religious experience continues to develop itself according to this principle. The sense of faith as something that must be exercised with “authenticity” along with the progressive dissolution of precisely defined religious boundaries is producing a number of expressions of trans-religious theology. This essay explores some of the core features of this development.
