Theology of Religions
Through the Lens of âTruth-as-Opennessâ
Series:
Author:
In Theology of Religions Graham Adams maps and analyses the field of âtheology of religionsâ (ToR) and its various typologies, examining the assumptions in how religion is assessed. The purpose is to identify how contributions to ToR select and deselect material and trajectories, editing according to presuppositions and interests. Adamsâ analysis consciously relies on Andrew Shanksâ Hegelian notion of âtruth-as-opennessâ (divine hospitality) as it illuminates three dynamics, or âscandalsâ, within ToR. The first, concerned with how a religionâs particularity or identity is constructed, is subdivided between âparticularity transcendedâ and âparticularity re-centredâ, along the lines of Jenny Daggersâ postcolonial insights. The second concerns the interactions when one religion engages an Otherâs strangeness, and the third is concerned with how religions aim to transform socio-political systems that feign or obstruct universality, so as to effect ever greater solidarity. The text notes key trends, beyond Christianity and including deepening interdisciplinarity, and potential developments from a critical but constructive standpoint.
Graham Adams, Ph.D. (2008), University of Leeds, is Tutor in Mission Studies at Luther King House, Manchester. Constantly engaging with Andrew Shanksâ work, he has published Christ and the Other (Ashgate, 2010) and chapters on âEmpireâ and theology of religions.
