Challenging Exclusivism in World Religions
Challenging the Theologies of Religious Exclusivity in World Religions for Peaceful Coexistence
What is religious exclusivity and how is it like or unlike religious fundamentalism? Do all religions maintain exclusive claims? If so, how can people from different religions relate? What are some of the dangers associated with religious exclusivity? Can exclusivism, like fundamentalism, cause violence? Our seminar speaker, Dr. Michael Calabria, will address these and other issues associated with religious exclusivism.
