Toward a Christian Theology of Religious Pluralism ReviewTrue to most Catholic scholars, Jaques Dupuis has taken a subject and slowly and carefully worked through the history, the theology and the present state of the issue, this being the intersection of thew Christian faith with other religions.
Make no mistake, this book is no easy read; moreover, I personally had some issues with Dupuis perspectives. For example, I think he was unfair to label Barth as "pessimistic"; in fact, many say that Barth was a universalist since there is no possibility for ANY religions (Christianity included) to bring salvation to anyone.
It is clear that Dupuis has a desire to be deeply orthodox, yet be sensitive to the depth and beauty in other religions. Indeed, he does accept that God is *somehow* working in other faiths too, but Jesus is somehow there. The problem is that on the on hand, Dupuis expresses an orthodox belief of Jesus' uniqueness, yet, in virtually the same breath, changes the definition of uniqueness as he continually tries to avoid the mistakes of exclusivism. In doing so, it is not clear what the solution is. He fully appreciates the pitfalls of relativistic pluralism (a la Hick) but does not want to see jesus' uniqueness in terms of historical finality. In support of his statements, however, he also wrestles wonderfully with many biblical passages that make this topic equally less clear than many people think.
