The Parliament of World's Religions met in Chicago in 1993 to
commemorate the centennial of the World Parliament of Religions in
1893. One of the organizing themes of this conference, attended by
around 10,000 delegates, was religious pluralism the focus of this
volume. Here, then, is a collection of essays from a conference
that meets not every year or even every ten years but once in a
century. All the of contributors to the volume are well-established
scholars who are known for their expertise in world religions:
Julia Ching, R. Panikkar, Harvey Cox, Arvind Sharma, Seyyed Hossein
Nasr, Masao Abe, Clara Sue Kidwell, Samuel Ruiz, Paul F. Knitter,
Donald W. Mitchell, Jeffrey Carlson, and Robert J. Schreiter. While
many books on religious pluralism focus on the plurality of
religious presences in North America, this volume employs the term
religious pluralism to include the plurality of perspectives
present within religious traditions as well. It thus understands
the term both in an internal and external sense. In addition, it
extends the discussion of religious pluralism beyond North America
to other theaters of the world, to Asia and Latin America. CONTENTS
