This original and ambitious book considers the terms of engagement between Christian theology and other religious traditions, beginning with criticism of Christian theology of religions as entangled with European colonial modernity. Jenny Daggers covers recent efforts to disentangle Eurocentrism from the meeting of the religions, and investigates new constructive possibilities arising in the postcolonial context. In dialogue with Asian and feminist theologies, she reflects on ways forward for relations between the religions and offers a particularist model for theology of religions, standing within a classical Trinitarian framework.
This book investigates the historical and ideological entanglement of Christian theology with European colonial modernity and proposes a new particularist model for interreligious engagement. Jenny Daggers, an established scholar in the field, utilizes a critical framework that synthesizes historical analysis of the missionary movement with contemporary postcolonial and feminist perspectives. By examining how Eurocentrism has shaped traditional Christian theology of religions, she constructs a path forward that balances religious pluralism with a classical Trinitarian framework.
