Abstract

In our global age, encounters with religious others are no longer isolated occurrences. Because of increased interfaith contact, many individuals are engaging in sense-making processes, trying to grapple with the inevitable tensions associated with subjectivity, especially when one is in the presence of the religious other. This essay addresses these processes and tensions by offering a model of pluralistic interfaith dialogue. In addition, we analyze two case studies using four paradigms of religious otherness. Literatures from both dialogue theory and religious pluralism are reviewed and the essay concludes with a discussion of the intersection between postmodernism and religious pluralism.
