Overview

Criteria of Discernment in Interreligious Dialogue focuses on the principles and norms used within particular religions when judging what is true and valuable in other religious traditions. While always implicitly operative, this volume attempts to make those criteria explicit, and the object of internal religious as well as interreligious reflection. Besides ethical criteria, which are present in all religious traditions, the volume illustrates the differences in both principles and processes of discernment, not only between, but also within particular religious traditions. As such, Protestant principles of discernment (R. Bernhardt) are somewhat different from Roman Catholic ones (G. D’Costa) and Tibetan Buddhist (J. Simmer-Brown, J. Makransky) from Pure Land Buddhist ones (M. Unno).
