The term 'inter-faith' is a recent innovation in English that has
gained significant traction in the discussion of religious
diversity. This volume argues that the concept of faiths in the
plural is deeply problematic for Christian theology and proposes a
Hegelian alternative to the conventional bureaucratic notion of
inter-faith dialogue. Hegel pioneered the systematic study of
comparative religion. In line with Hegelian principle, Andrew
Shanks identifies faith as an inflection of the will towards
perfect truth-as-openness. In relation to other religious
traditions, this must involve the practice of a maximum xenophilia,
or love for the unfamiliar, understood as a core Christian virtue.
Shanks's neo-Hegelian theory recognises the potential for God's
work in all religious traditions, which may be seen as divine
experiments with human nature. This timely book discusses a wide
range of interreligious encounters and will be an essential
resource for studies in comparative theology and philosophy of
religion.
