This book analyzes the writings of Karl Rahner, Karl Barth, and
Vedanta Desika to disclose how each construes "piety" and
"responsibility" as integral to each other. Each theologian
expresses a fundamental unity of love of God and love of neighbour.
Sheveland explores this unity in ecumenical and interreligious
frameworks, showing how these authors privilege theology as
practice, enactment, or simply as ethical. He uses the Renaissance
genre of musical polyphony as a methodological tool by which to
explore the aesthetic quality and the similarity-in-difference of
the theological voices being compared. Polyphony's application to
comparative theology includes the avoidance of caricature,
domestication, and antagonism. In place of these is offered a
fundamentally aesthetic paradigm by which to hear theological
voices in terms of their unity-in-distinction.
