Open Theology<\/em> has just published its special themed section on “Theology Without Walls” (also known as Transreligious Theology). The themed section is entitled “Is Transreligious Theology Possible?” and edited by the inimitable Jerry Martin. My article in this collection is here<\/a>. The Table of Contents is below and you can find full-text versions of all articles here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s the introduction to my contribution:<\/p>\n

Transreligious theology is possible. We have a manifesto in Wilfred Cantwell Smith\u2019s Toward a World Theology<\/i>. We have a large number of books and articles (including several of my own). We even have a systematic theology in the form of Robert Neville\u2019s three-volume Philosophical Theology<\/i>. The question is no longer if<\/i> transreligious theology can be done; now we need to talk concretely about how<\/i> to do it. With the latter issue in mind, in what follows I briefly discuss five helpful interpretative angles on transreligious theology, five valuable resources for transreligious theology, and five daunting challenges facing transreligious theology. I conclude with reflections on what it might mean for transreligious theology to transcend religion altogether, to become postreligious theology or even nonreligious theology.<\/p>\n

Here are the contents of the themed section.<\/p>\n
