Abstract
This paper analyzes pivotal ideas of the controversial Belgian Jesuit theologian Jacques Dupuis in the field of interreligious dialogue. In particular, it addresses the possibility of using Dupuis’ Trinitarian Christology as a lens for understanding other religions and establishing a mutually enriching relationship with them, without falling into the extremes of inclusivism or exclusivism, or into eclecticism, syncretism, and relativism. While some of Dupuis’ ideas may seem scandalous at first glance, the author’s deftly nuanced analysis of his thoughts contextualizes his framework within the purview of the infinity of Trinitarian love and vitality, which is not exhausted in the definitive revelation of Jesus but remains able to communicate Godself with salvific potency in other religions, before and after the Christ-event.
