Constructing Reality in Comparative Theology
Paul S. Chung
- Through
- an
- examination
- of
- Christian
- interaction
- with
- other
- religions,
- Paul
- S.
- Chung
- constructs
- a
- theology
- of
- comparative
- religion.
- In
- the
- course
- of
- this
- construction,
- he
- employs
- the
- work
- of
- Ernst
- Troeltsch,
- Robert
- Bellah,
- and
- Karl
- Barth,
- while
- offering
- case
- studies
- of
- transformative
- interaction
- between
- Buddhism,
- Christianity,
- and
- Islam.
- Chung's
- interdisciplinary
- approach
- opens
- up
- avenues
- for
- the
- inter-religious
- understanding
- and
- melding,
- for
- instance
- exploring
- the
- development
- of
- a
- Protestant
- Islam.
- Throughout,
- he
- provides
- new
- conceptions
- of
- the
- religions
- involved
- and
- the
- realities
- they assert.
