Interreligious relationships are often hindered by epistemic
disparity caused by the nexus between religions and state powers.
To solve this problem, David Muthukumar Sivasubramanian develops a
postfoundationalist epistemological framework to affirm the
epistemic parity and plurality of religions while upholding their
particularity and universality. Building on this
postfoundationalist epistemology, a comparative Christology
paradigm that uses insights from the extant comparative theology
method is reformulated with a Christological focus. This model
seeks to affirm the exclusive faith assertions of Christianity and
the corresponding universal claims for Christ. It also sustains the
particular religious identity of a comparative theologian over
against any compulsion to assume hybrid identity in the
interreligious cross-learning. This comparative Christology
framework is exhibited through cross-learning with the Tamil Saiva
Siddhanta tradition. This method is shown to affirm not only the
particularity and universality of Christianity but also of the
Tamil Saiva Siddhanta tradition by defining each religion's attempt
at their revealed truth as a parallel quest for truth. Thus, it
facilitates dialogue across religions by securing one's
self-identity and the other's alterity.
