Synopsis
Offers Christian readings of Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist holy texts, illustrates a hermeneutic of generosity that yields new bases for friendship and mutual understanding. In recent decades Catholics and many other Christians have undergone a major shift in relations with other religious traditions and in biblical interpretation. This new hermeneutics of generosity seeks to uncover what can be learned from other holy texts and the communities that treasure them, and also seeks to find common ground on important issues such as human rights and religious liberty. This volume, which offers Christian readings of Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist holy texts, illustrates a hermeneutic of generosity that yields new bases for friendship and mutual understanding. Lefebure notes the challenges and tensions in the relationship between Christians and these four other religious communities. He concludes with a reflection on the experience of conversion from a hermeneutics of hostility to a hermeneutics of generosity in light of the theology of Bernard Lonergan and the mimesis theory of Rene Girard.

True and Holy : Christian Scripture and Other Religions
Seller: Buchpark, Trebbin, Germany
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 274 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Traditionally Christians have read the scriptures of other religions through a hermeneutic of hostility, and interpreted interreligious relationships in light of sharp scriptural condemnations of idolatry and idolaters, often with deadly consequences. In recent decades, however, Catholics and many other Christians have undergone a major shift in relations with other religious traditions and in biblical interpretation. This new hermeneutics of generosity seeks instead to uncover what can be learned from other holy texts and the communities that treasure them, and also seeks to find common ground on important issues such as human rights and religious liberty.
