This work addresses the growing challenge of contextuality within
Christianity in the setting of the vibrant and dynamic Caribbean.
The challenge results from the recognition that all religious
practices are conditioned by the geographical, ethnic,
socio-economic, and cultural frameworks in which they emerge. This
contextuality should inform the way theological diversity within
Christianity is addressed, as well as the way Christian
formulations are considered in relation to other religions. The
text offers conceptual support for the position that Christian
theologizing in the Caribbean requires that the context's religious
diversity be engaged and that insights from other religions be
explored. Processing this position through an examination of
religious dynamics within the English-speaking sub-region, the
prominent attempt at contextually sensitive Christianity (Caribbean
Revisionist Christianity) with the associated theological
orientation (Caribbean Theology) is analyzed in relation to
formulations and practices from other dominant religions in the
area-Afro-Caribbean Religion, Hinduism, and Islam. Epistemological
analysis exposes the complexity of the religious life and a
framework is proposed for inter-religious engagement. This
framework engenders contextually sensitive pluralism and demands
that theology be pursued in dialectical mode. The dialectical
approach is then dramatized in an inter-religious dialogue on God.
