Concilium is a review in the Catholic tradition, conciliar in tone, with an ecumenical spirit. Th... more Concilium is a review in the Catholic tradition, conciliar in tone, with an ecumenical spirit. The ‘signs ofthe times’ demand daring in examining and elaborating new depths of ‘catholicity’ and of the spirit of ecumenism. The increasingly obvious emergence of pluralism, to the point where it marks a new paradigm, compels a new and more forceful approach to it, seeking new insights and trying out a new language.
ASETT, the Latin American Theological Commission of EATWOT (Ecumenical Association of Third World Theologians) proposed a jointly-edited issue of Concilium, in which Latin American theology would draw into its tradition what theology produced in the Anglo-Saxon context had been developing in a somewhat different form: a theology that, rather than being one ‘of religious pluralism’, is a pluralist theology, elaborated on the basis of a pluralist paradigm, and one that is, effectively, a liberating pluralist theology, based on the approach of the option for the poor.
The challenge had, in fact, been clearly issued to liberation theology by Aloysius Pieris, on the grounds that religious pluralism has everything to do with the multitudes of poor people, as is confirmed here in the article by Jose Maria Vigil. Following a series of publications by ASETT, this issue of the review, as a partnership between ASETT and Concilium, displays not only world-wide collaboration, as is necessary today, but also a fruitful marriage between liberation theology and theology of pluralism, showing that liberation theology has not remained stuck in the themes of past decades but is tackling new concerns, such as this pluralist liberation theology.

After laying out both the political and the spiritual reasons for the necessity of multifaith dialogue, the author describes its complexity: participants are often told that, to make dialogue possible, all religions must abandon claims of being the “only” or the “best.” But such a requirement will frighten away many religious believers, especially conservative believers. To resolve this dilemma the author suggests we follow the example of the Interfaith Youth Corps. They begin dialogue not with theological requirements but with shared action to address the needs of civil society. In working together, followers of different religions become friends with one another. And friends will want to share what they believe without claiming that one is better than another.

Those who have contributed to it have resolved to 'cross the Rubican' and to move from insistence on the superiority or finality of Christ and Christianity towards a recongition of the independent validity of other religious approaches. Their article seek to show that their position, though still tentative and controversial, represents a viable option for Christian believers.

One only has to read an article, such as Calvin Shenk's "The Middle Eastern Jesus" (Missiology. 2001), to recognize how much non-European theologians have to contribute to a serious, faithful presentation of the identity of the incarnate Son of God. Although Stott's current publication is in a different class from his epic The Cross of Christ (lnterVarsity, 1986), one does, nevertheless, wish to salute him for his attempt to reaffirm the truth that Jesus is by far the primary hermeneutic for understanding the Bible and living to the glory of God. In abbreviated form, the message of this book was presented in public lectures that were videotaped and made available to the public, along with useful study guides.
