Description

Karl Barth never paid particular attention to the religions of the world. In fact he has often been stereotyped as the prime exponent of an exclusivist attitude toward other religions because of his belief that salvation comes through Christ alone. However a close analysis of his work suggests that it defies the rigid typology of exclusivism inclusivism and pluralism so often used in interreligious debate and instead allows for the possibility of discerning Gods presence in the other Abrahamic faiths. This book asserts that a case can be made on the basis of Barths theology for promoting a democratic society which respects freedom and difference. It shows how this argument can be extended to accommodate religious pluralism. Other faith groups can contribute to a just society and interact in ways which are theologically fruitful for the Churchs own life. In particular this book demonstrates how Barths theology can help Christians relate to Muslims by showing that Gods grace is at work in places it is not expected beyond the boundaries of the Church. The Church can be addressed through the presence and voice of the other. In todays context this includes address through the presence and voice of Islam.
