Love and You Shall Live: Christian Soteriology in the Light of Interreligious Dialogue and the Biblical Notion of Agape

Exploring the complexities of interreligious dialogue, this book challenges the conventional categories of exclusivism, inclusivism, and pluralism through a hermeneutic lens focused on Jesus' life and teachings. It highlights early Christianity's struggles with interreligious conflicts, drawing insights from biblical texts like the Good Samaritan parable. The author proposes an eschatological-ethical principle of agape, emphasizing love as a means to embrace differences and redefine identity. This approach reestablishes soteriology's significance in Christianity, integrating divine initiative with human participation in God's salvific plan.
