In Many and Diverse Ways

More about the book

This tribute to Jacques Dupuis, Catholicism's foremost thinker on the theology of religions, explores his work and offers suggestions for extending his ideas. For twenty years Jacques Dupuis has been at the forefront of Catholic theological efforts to explore the implications of the Second Vatican Council and its positive reappraisal of the status of "other" religious traditions. A painstakingly thorough thinker, Dupuis has balanced insights from the core of tradition with an openness to the holy mystery of God's presence in the world. In treading that path he has demonstrated courage, integrity, and faith, and earned his reputation as one of the foremost theologians of our time. In this book, his Jesuit confreres Daniel Kendall and Gerald O'Collins have assembled essays by eighteen noted scholars. The book concludes with a complete bibliography of the work of Jacques Dupuis.
