The History of Inter‐Religious Dialogue

Abstract

At the heart of dialogue is inter-religious dialogue, because religion is the most comprehensive of all the human “disciplines”: “an explanation of the ultimate meaning of life, and how to live accordingly.” This chapter draws attention to a slightly later development that provided a solid underpinning for the expansion of inter-religious dialogue subsequent to the parliament. It talks about the launching of the Christian Ecumenical Movement. The pages of the Journal of Ecumenical Studies (JES) serve as an excellent bellwether marking the progress of the Interreligious Dialogue Movement. In the higher education study of religion, inter-religious dialogue itself occurred, as did also the study of it. Flowing out of its dim beginning in the Enlightenment, inter-religious dialogue is now spreading in all the societal structures of the globe, moving humanity in the direction of a Global Dialogical Civilization.
