Historical theology and inter-religious dialogue: "... in no other than the human form is it possible for beings to experience and become acquainted with my real existence"

500 |a Slightly revised version of the contribution I made on January 23rd, 1996 in the course of lectures about "Die Zukunft des Christentums" at the Theological Faculty, Bielefeld-Bethel, Germany 
520 |a That God has to become man in order to reveal the being of God to mankind is a belief not only held by Christianity. In Bhagavata Purana, one of the holy scriptures of Hinduism, God Vishnu speaks the sentence quoted above when he is incarnated as Krishna. In a world getting ever smaller, awareness of other religions gains more and more importance. It is my purpose to show what contribution the theological field I represent, ecclesiastical history or historical theology,1 may make towards getting to know other religions and seeking dialogue with them. I will use the worship of Krishna in the following text to exemplify my propositions. My explanations are set out in five parts: (I) two traditions of how God became man; (II) the problem and purpose of inter-religious encounter; (III) historical theology as history; (IV) historical theology as theology; (V) thoughts about dialogue with other religions as an encounter between two things of comparable significance.
