NOTE ISSUE

As part of the department “free-society-peace” of the research center of the College of the Bernardine, department and co-directed by Antoine Arjakovsky Antoine de Romanet, the seminar “Mediterranean dialogue on modernity and religion”, led by Jacques Huntzinger and Valentine Zuber, opens Monday, May 14, 2012 a new round of research entitled: “a” dialogue “between Christians and Muslims? ”

This cycle is not so much seek to analyze the institutional parameters of Islamic-Christian dialogue, or even simply dwell on aspects of “living together”.It aims to question, criticize and define the meaning of the concept of “dialogue” so often applied to constructive exchanges between Christian and Muslim traditions, but also the vocabulary may be used such exchanges. Beyond the focus on what is now common to name the “interreligious dialogue”, the sessions will be used to further questions frequently raised unilaterally by one or the other monotheisms, experienced daily by many believers, for structuring Mediterranean societies and yet often excluded from that dialogue.

Based on dialogue between believers of South and North of the Mediterranean, an interdisciplinary academic and together researchers and practitioners from both sides, this cycle is the apprehension and understanding of exchanges and links between Christianity and Islam under the angles anthropological, political, historical, philosophical, sociological and theological.

The question of the theological foundations of interreligious dialogue will be the focus of this first session entitled “theology to the test of religious pluralism.”

It seems that interreligious dialogue can be understood as a mode of religious hope could allow religions not to move towards selfishness. It can be not only a way to reduce conflicts, but also a religious act deeply rewarding for each tradition, may be re-used through a “thought of the other.”

In a situation marked by contemporary globalization, the acceleration of trade, increasing demands religious – religious offerings that appeal now beyond their place of origin – the individualization and the relativization of the direction, beliefs is pluralisent.

Moreover, this century makes it an ultimate value notions of tolerance and respect for freedom of every human being, regardless of religious affiliation and beliefs. If the individual is destined to make society today is based on the will – and freedom – individual. This freedom, fruit of a long historical process, is now recognized as a legitimate right of the human person, the anchor of this recognition can only increase the growth of a belief “impressionistic” and plural, dictated by the subjectivity.

What theological approach can be done to these realities?

If the real pluralism is the source of any productive dialogue, if the real pluralism is recognized in the full legitimacy of different opinions, including religious, then how to accept – or even believe in – the simultaneous legitimation of these opinions? If such a belief seems to be the basis of interreligious dialogue, commits justify this dialogue through theology? What theological foundation can encourage and support this dialogue? How to make sense of theological pluralism characteristic of the twenty-first century and as a source of mutual enrichment?

It is through the encounter of Christian and Muslim theologians that we try to investigate these issues.
