Theology of religions has defaulted in the last two decades to an
epicyclic inclusivism which seeks to undermine pluralism with claims
that it is covertly triumphalistic and that it mirrors the logic of
exclusivism. With the exception of pioneers in the field such as John
Hick and Paul Knitter, most major figures in this theological field
have retreated from pluralism and promote versions of particularism
and inclusivism. Pluralism: The Future of Religion argues for an
apophatic pluralism that is motivated by the insight that it is
impossible to secure universal assent for changeable bodies of
religious teachings. This insight implies the non-finality and
consequent 'departicularization' of all religious teachings and their
inclusivistic defenses. These conclusions point us inevitably toward
pluralism and lead us out of the inclusivistic impasse of contemporary
theology in religions.
