The academic study of religion is undergoing great changes in
response to globalization. Just as sociologists now find it
necessary to think in terms of "multiculturalism," so religion
scholars and theologians today must work in the context of
"multireligiosity." Globalization is leading not only to
multiethnic societies but also to plurality in religions and
worldviews. Theology and the Religions: A Dialogue offers the first
sustained analysis of the trend toward multireligiosity and its
implications for the study of religion. Drawing on the resources of
cultural analysis, religious studies, and theology, an
international slate of thirty-seven scholars explores the relation
of multiculturality and multireligiosity, the need for
interreligious dialogue, and the possibilities for a "theology of
religions." This groundbreaking work is supported by case studies
of various religious traditions in diverse cultures from around the
world. Offering an engaging, wide-angle view of religion worldwide,
Theology and the Religions makes a vital contribution to our
understanding of the forces shaping the future of religious and
social life. Contributors: Kajsa Ahlstrand Theodor Ahrens
