Abstract
The article discusses the volume Jewish Theology and World Religions, edited by Alon Goshen-Gottstein and Eugene Korn. It depicts its core contents, presenting them in light of the relatively new discipline of interreligious or dialogical theology that challenges exclusivist and inclusivist approaches to other religions. The lines between a non exclusivist theology of religions present in the volume and a pluralist, dialogical world theology described in the article are not clear cut. In fact, many ideas and concepts found in Jewish Theology and World Religions lead into the direction of a pluralist theology of religions. I argue that what is needed today is not only a revisited confessional Jewish theology, but also and foremost a dialogical theology from a Jewish vantage point that values the uniqueness of the religious other and promotes a religiosity based upon human rights and a shared humanity.
