Interreligious Literacy and Scriptural Reasoning: Some hermeneutical, Anthropological, Pedagogical and Experiential Reflections

    Research output: Chapter in Book / Report / Conference proceedingChapterAcademicpeer-review

    Abstract

    In this chapter, I first lay out the most important hermeneutical and anthropological principles that undergird my understanding of interreligious learning. As will become clear, I take my inspiration to a large extent from the French philosopher Paul Ricoeur, who has been called “the philosopher of all dialogues.” Then I will make these theoretical considerations more concrete by elaborating on an interreligious dialogical approach that to my mind works transformatively: scriptural reasoning. I will explain what this practice is all about and how I try to guide my students throughout this learning process. As an introduction, I briefly dwell upon the particular context in which I work and from which I speak.
