THE INTERCULTURAL AND INTERRELIGIOUS DIALOGUE AS MAIN COMPONENTS OF A CHRISTIAN SOTERIOLOGY

Abstract

Soteriology is the important Christian teaching. However, it isinteresting to think the Christian soteriology in the context of intercultural and interreligious community. This article will analyses some aspects of Christian Soteriology in that context: that of the role of the traditional Western denomination, of that Scripture is a complex criterion, that the impact of the history of doctrine cannot be fixed, that the cultural setting is an ambivalent fact, that therefore the relation Gospel-culture is multifaceted, the contention that the transmission of the Gospel presupposes societal and religious solidarity, a two-sided transformation, a realistic idea of the impact of religion upon a culture, and an appeal to an on-going debate onthe Gospel-Culture relation.
