Over the past two centuries the Christian faith has spread to all continents. Although more global than ever, Christians are religious minorities in most societies. Religious freedom is hardly universal. In the past fifty years, millions of people have been uprooted from their traditional homelands in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Some have emigrated to Western Europe and North America. The West has become the scene of cultural, linguistic, and religious variety on a scale unimagined in 1900. Today, the full range of faiths and religious practices from all continents are present in Europe and North America. Christians are challenged to come to terms with this changed situation. These developments have intensified religious plurality. Christians all over the world are being urged to understand and engage with this new situation. This volume highlights this new reality and specifies some sources for engagement, not least among them the Judeo-Christian scriptures--fundamental to all "Christianities"--that emerged out of religious plural contexts. On the basis of their faith in the Triune God disclosed in this text, all followers of Jesus Christ must interact with these opportunities in today's radically context-sensitive world.
Ratzinger on Religious Pluralism

What can Christian theology claim about the place of other religions in God’s providential plan for humanity? How can it reconcile the universality of God’s saving plan and the particularity of Christ and the Church? What meaning is left to Christian existence and mission in a religiously pluralist world? As priest-theologian, cardinal archbishop, and pope, Joseph Ratzinger reflected on these difficult questions for more than half a century and in a variety of contexts, proffering an array of profound answers that are dispersed across his substantial literary corpus. In Ratzinger on Religious Pluralism, Sameer Advani assembles and synthesizes these reflections and answers of the late pontiff , providing a systematic study of Ratzinger’s theology of religions that attends to the scope of his larger historical, philosophical, and theological concerns. The first part analyzes Ratzinger’s critical engagement with various paradigms of religious pluralism, whose accounts of religion, Christianity, and non-Christian religions he found both phenomenologically and theologically wanting. The second part, in turn, explores Ratzinger’s positive proposal for a theology of religions, which locates both Christianity and non-Christian religions against the larger backgrounds of anthropological unity, the human search for truth, and divine providence. Advani argues that while Ratzinger rejected the idea that other religions are salvific or on par with Christianity, he recognized both their important role in God’s providential plan and their suitedness to an “assumption” into the Church through mutual, albeit asymmetric, purification and enrichment.
