Routledge Foucault, Christianity and Interfaith Dialogue (Vol 2)

Explore a fresh perspective on religious diversity with Foucault, Christianity and Interfaith Dialogue. Part of the Routledge Studies in Religion series, this book applies the ideas of French historian Michel Foucault to the complex landscape of modern faith. By examining how Roman Catholic, Protestant, and other unitary models of religious pluralism can create injustice toward the 'Other', the author proposes a new way to think about religious interaction. This work introduces Foucault's concept of de-centring transcendence and human reason as a practical alternative for understanding how different faiths coexist. This text is designed for those interested in how religious diversity shapes the constitution of the self and the structure of society. It offers a scholarly look at how moving away from centered models can lead to a more inclusive understanding of the role religion plays in our social world.
