In the well-worn debates about religious pluralism and the theology
of religions there have been many different rubrics used to account
for, comprehend, or engage with the religious other. This book is
chiefly a work of Christian theology and seeks to bring the
doctrine of creation and the theology of religions into dialogue
and in so doing it comes at things from a different direction than
other works. It contains an extensive exploration of the doctrine
of creation and asks how it might intervene distinctively in these
discourses to produce a new conceptual and practical topography. It
will consider inter-religious engagement from the perspective of
the doctrine of creatio ex nihilo that forms the dominant view in
the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions. The book pays close
consideration to anthropology (i.e. creaturehood), the quotidian
and wisdom, the idea of 'sabbath,' human action and work, and
vivifying the immanent through a consideration of some
representative phenomenologists. The book will develop these ideas
in a more practical direction by considering sacraments and rituals
in the public sphere as well as attempting to describe the kind of
'creational politics' that might bring traditions into dialogue.
Whilst these themes challenge more conventional ways of considering
relations between religions, such themes - because they are
different from concerns commonly found in the literature - can also
be profitably engaged with across the spectrum of opinion (i.e.
exclusivist or pluralist etc.) Thus, whilst the position adopted in
this work is creatio ex nihilo part of the motivation is to review
the ways in which this focus helps to broaden rather than limit the
discussion.
