This week I was very excited to be in conversation with Dr. John J. Thatamanil. In this conversation we discuss Dr. Thatamanil's book "Circling the Elephant: A Comparative Theology of Religious Diversity". Thatamanil builds a compelling case for Religious Pluralism that is deeply shaped by humility, hospitality, and mutual transformation. Christians do not have a monopoly on encounters with the Divine or Ultimate Reality and other Religious Traditions do in fact have access to both Truth and transformation. It is more than time that we stop just learning ABOUT other religious traditions, and start learning FROM them. Thatamanil demonstrates that religious diversity should be seen as a promise and not a problem and proposes a theology of religious diversity that opens the door to robust interreligious learning and transformation through encountering the other.

In this episode, we discuss: The de-religionization of religion. John's cultural dislocation and how it informed his approach to theology. Truth and desire. What does it mean to have a multi-religious identity? The difference between salad bar spirituality and multi-religious identity.  3 kinds of religious wonder. The multi-religious theologian as the embodiment of the hospitality of receiving. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We revisit our 2012 interview with Union Theological Seminary professor John Thatamanil.Theologian and professor John J. Thatamanil discusses the growing field of "religious pluralism" - where the boundaries of "religion" are loosened and faith traditions are encouraged to mix and blend.  While a controversial concept to some, Thatamanil insists that theologies of religious pluralism are simply exploring the reality of religious mixture that has always been happening, whether we admit it or not.  Learn more about your ad choices.
