Shows that many so-called “pluralist” theologies are actually masks for a secularizing agenda and that the doctrine of the Trinity holds more potential for interreligious understanding and dialogue. D’Costa recommends the Trinitarian approach which attains the goals that pluralism seeks: openness, respect, and learning from other religions. It accomplishes this without the reductionism associated with pluralism and by examining the serious differences between traditions. He applies the Trinity to interreligious prayer with surprising results.
Gavin D’Costa is senior lecturer in theology at University of Bristol. He is author of Christian Uniqueness Reconsidered and Resurrection Reconsidered.
