THEOLOGY OF RELIGIONS: NEW PARADIGM OF THEOLOGICAL THINKING

Abstract

The theme theology of religions is gaining more and more decisive importance in the scenario of contemporary theological reflection. In fact, the theology of religions is recent theological issue. You can say that it had to launch its immediate premises and those that followed. The theme is therefore extremely complex, and its approach requires a treatment of the Christian faith, the experience common to all humanity as an “anonymous wait” for the mystery of Christ. Theology of religions is an integral part of the church's theological discourse. We want to warn here that the Christian theology of religions, while necessarily being “confessional”, should not adopt a global perspective that embraces, in its view , the totality of the religious experience of humanity. From the point of view of Christian faith the following questions arise:  How do the realities in which people live their religious life come into God's plan for the salvation of humanity? In the reality of religious pluralism in the world mean?
