Description
Résumé:Through (1) a reflection on the concept of “salvation” in the Western theological discourses concerning religious diversity, (2) an exploration of the comparable concept in Chinese religious context, and (3) an analysis of the prevalent Chinese Christian discourses on religious diversity, this study attempts to argue that contemporary Chinese Christian theology can and should articulate a multi-dimensional understanding of salvation(s). In comparison with a conventional monolithic concept of salvation, this multi-dimensional understanding matches better the richness of the Biblical understanding as well as the Christian experience of salvation and can facilitate better the Christian dialogue with other religions, especially the Chinese religion
