The meeting of religions and the Trinity
"D'Costa seeks to demonstrate that, even by its own criteria, pluralism doesn't succeed. He explores the "meeting of the religions" in its leading exponents from Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism and Buddhism. He discovers the influence of Western modernist thought or else a veiled exclusivism not only in Hick, Knitter, Cohn-Sherbok and Panikkar, but even in Radhakrishnan and the Dalai Lama. D'Costa then goes on to establish an alternative Trinitarian approach to interreligious prayer and tolerance, drawing on recent discussions of other religions as "vehicles of salvation." The final section of the book represents the first major systematic theological study of interfaith prayer."--BOOK JACKET
