BERNARD LONERGAN AND RAIMON PANIKKAR ON FAITH AND BELIEF
Keywords:
Modern Study of Religion and Faith, Faith as Constitutive of Humanity, Faith and BeliefAbstract
Whether we like to admit it or not, our contemporary global life cannot be understood without adverting to the widespread presence of pluralism in economics, politics, culture, and religion. Religious pluralism is especially distinctive and a concrete fact in our globalized experience of human life. Both in the East and in the West, we frequently meet religious persons who come to us from other parts of the world. In this sense, geographically, we live among many neighbours. We have many neighbours. But, do we not experience a strange distance with our neighbours, a strangeness which takes on global dimensions? So, we find that we are all in need of more solid forms of encounter and engagement in the relations which we can have with others.
