AbstractThis article is a plea for a sympathetic and empathetic understanding of salvation in the major faith traditions of the world. There is no such thing as Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim or Jewish salvation, H. S. Wilson insists--only human salvation. After discussing the biblical roots of the word "salvation," Wilson reflects on what Christians would call salvation in Judaism, Islam,, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Confucianism and Taoism. Here he finds many similarities to the Christian notion, but also significant differences. Then, in the context of today's changing Christian attitude toward the possibility of salvation in other religious ways, Wilson finds paths toward possible progress in John B. Cobb, Jr.'s challenge of "mutual transformation," in Raimon Panikkar's call for intra-religious dialogue, and in Aloysius Pieris' notion of "enreligionization." The religions of the world will thrive in the future, argues Wilson, only if they grow towards one another and avoid isolation and fundamentalism.

Christian History

Characteristic features of Christianity of the twentieth century were the consolidation of his denominations around social problems and holding inter-Christian theological and missionary conferences. These components of Christian history of the last century are connected with ecumenism. Ecumenism, in turn, influenced the initiation of a dialogue between Christianity and other religions, most notably Judaism and Islam. Thus, a comprehensive study of ecumenism will not only enable us to better understand contemporary Christianity and try to predict further ways of its development, but also on the basis of it to understand the inter-religious dialogue, which largely depends on the future of the world community.

The historian-theologian Hans Kung is best known today for his passionate pursuit of inter-religious dialogue and understanding within a global perspective. Since the 1960s he was professor of Ecumenical Theology at the Eberhard-Karls-Universitat of Tubingen in Germany and Emeritus Professor there from 1996. This dissident Swiss Catholic priest is a controversial theologian and prolific author in the inter-faith industry.Since 1995, his primary occupation has been President of the Foundation for a Global Ethic (Stiftung Weltethos). He described what world religions share in common, not what separates them, and compiled a minimal code of moral rules everyone might possibly accept.

The Status

This article examines the ways in which the status of Mormonism within academic comparative religion discourses is quite different from that which has evolved among Latter-day Saint leaders and within the burgeoning field of Mormon studies. Whereas Mormonism is a quasi-Christian New Religious Movement in most world religions textbooks and reference works, some scholars of Mormonism have advanced the expanding Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints into the position of world religion. In doing so, they have adopted the terminology of a broader taxonomy largely without regard for maintaining its established demarcations. This classificatory tension, which will likely increase in the future, reveals some of the underlying logics, semantic confusions, and power dynamics of comparative religion discourses, ultimately problematizing the categories of Christianity, world religion, and New Religious Movement as currently constituted.

Abya Yala

A teologia feminista latino-americana está entrelaçada com a sobrevivência e a espiritualidade diárias das mulheres, repensando assim os conceitos tradicionais de corpos subalternos. É a experiência das mulheres como uma direção para desafiar as noções de revelação e dogma. O diálogo inter-religioso tem sido construído com as lentes ocidentalizantes do Paradigma das Religiões Mundiais que fixam apenas uma noção do que é Religião. Este artigo tem como objetivo desafiar esses conceitos, tecendo hermenêuticas latino-americanas do diálogo inter-religioso, nesse caso, com as mãos de mulheres feministas. Como podemos entender a hermenêutica do diálogo inter-religioso das mulheres latino-americanas? Dialogaremos com o tema a partir do conceito de diálogo interfé, conectando-o com a colonialidade em Abya Yala, para assim pensar os possíveis caminhos da hermenêutica inter-religiosa feminista latino-americana e do Princípio Pluralista na América Latina. Utilizaremos autoras/res da teologia feminista latino-americana e do princípio pluralista para construir possíveis bordados a partir do nosso chão e luta, tais como Maricel-Mena López, Ivone Gebara, Cláudio de Oliveira Ribeiro entre outras/os pensadoras/os.Abstract Latin American feminist theology is intertwined with women's daily survival and spirituality, thus rethinking traditional concepts of subordinate bodies. It is the experience of women as a direction to challenge the notions of revelation and dogma. Interreligious dialogue has been built with the Westernizing lens of the World Religions Paradigm, which has fixed the notion of what Religion is. This article aims to challenge these concepts by weaving Latin American hermeneutics of interreligious dialogue, in this case, with the hands of feminist women. How can we understand the hermeneutics of inter-religious dialogue among Latin American women? We will dialogue with the theme based on the concept of interfaith dialogue, connecting with coloniality in Abya Yala to think about the possible paths of Latin American feminist inter-religious hermeneutics and the Pluralist Principle in Latin America. We will use authors from Latin American feminist theology and the pluralist principle to build possible embroidery from our ground and struggle, such as Maricel-Mena López, Ivone Gebara, Claudio de Oliveira Ribeiro among other thinkers.

AbstractGlobalization has many dimensions and there are diverse perspectives on it. e contributors to the first three volumes of God and Globalization are a testament to the range of scholarly engagement with key dimensions of globalization. e aim of these essays and the structure of their presentation is to lay the foundations for comprehensive theological interaction with globalization. While the review of volume 1 highlights the issue of glocal and local interaction with the global; volume two's reviewer draws attention to the often neglected religious (Christian) infl uences at work in a variety of professional and scholarly spheres of action shaping global developments. Volume 3 raises questions of the universal and the particular in religious studies and the ways that the world religions are shaping or responding to globalization, opening the way for inter-religious dialogue. is leads to the forth volume which asks what Christian theology and ethics specifi cally have to off er to the interpretation and guidance of these global developments. All four reviews are responded to here and the challenge to tease out a public theology and its mission appropriate for our globalizing era is re-asserted.

Abstract. This research took place just after the end of the protests following the killing of a 16-year-old boy by a policeman in Greece in December 2008. Participants (N = 224) were 16-year-olds in different schools in Attiki. Informed by the Politicized Collective Identity Model ( Simon & Klandermans, 2001 ), a questionnaire measuring grievances, adversarial attributions, emotions, vulnerability, identifications with students and activists, and questions about justice and Greek society in the future, as well as about youngsters’ participation in different actions, was completed. Four profiles of the participants emerged from a cluster analysis using representations of the conflict, emotions, and identifications with activists and students. These profiles differed on beliefs about the future of Greece, participants’ economic vulnerability, and forms of participation. Importantly, the clusters corresponded to students from schools of different socioeconomic areas. The results indicate that the way young people interpret the events and the context, their levels of identification, and the way they represent society are important factors of their political socialization that impacts on their forms of participation. Political socialization seems to be related to youngsters’ position in society which probably constitutes an important anchoring point of their interpretation of the world.

Second Wave

With signs of normalization seemingly in place in the world economy, a number of problems show the possibility of aggravation in the future. The volume of derivatives in American banks grows significantly, high risk instruments are back in place and their use becomes more active, global imbalances increase. All of the above requires thorough approaches when creating mechanisms which can neutralize external shocks for the Russian economy and make it possible to develop in the new post-crisis environment.
