O pluralismo religioso em Jacques Dupuis: uma perspectiva teológica para o diálogo inter-religioso

Abstract

The religious pluralism of Jacques Dupuis is based on the inductive method, that is, from the experience of the encounter with the other religion finding the synthesis way of what is positive and giving theological plausibility to the interreligious dialogue. The author bases the paradigm of inclusivist pluralism as the one that best fits the demands of dialogue, which is another condition for an encounter among faiths, neither demeaning one nor legitimizing the other. However, Dupuis and the theology of religious pluralism were questioned by the Holy See with two official writings, that are Dominus Iesus and the Notification to Jacques Dupuis. In the encounter between religious pluralism and criticism of the theologian under discussion, fundamental challenges for theology arise, such as to support a theological method that allows interreligious dialogue, a paradigm that highlights the acceptance of the different and an insistence on the dialogue as a path to peace and tolerance.
