Listening to God: Using Meta–Terminology to Describe
Revelation in a Comparative Theistic Context1
Authors:A J Watson
Institution:A. J. Watson is completing doctoral work on comparative missions at Cambridge University. He is a graduate of Harvard Divinity School, and has researched Islam and interfaith dialogue at the Pluralism Project and with the Islam in the West Program at Harvard University.
Abstract:Abstract : Starting from the assertion that comparative theology is inherently dialogical in nature, this paper examines the use of non‐confessional meta‐terminology and its application in interfaith dialogue. In so doing, it examines potential meta‐terms for describing revelation as related in the Bhagavad‐Gita, the Qur’an, and the Gospel of John, and concludes that non‐confessional terms aid in the dismissal of normative viewpoints, leading to greater appreciation of commonality and meaning in the truth claims of other faiths and dialogue partners.
Keywords:comparative theology  revelation  interfaith dialogue  Qur’  an  Bhagavad‐Gita  Gospel of John
