Schirrmacher publishes article on the compatibility of Christian apologetics and interreligious dialog
In this episode, Thomas Paul is in the Vatican/the Pontificial University. He gives a jubilee speech in honor of the document “Christian Witness in a Multi Relgious World”.
Protestant theologian and scholar of sociology of religion Thomas Schirrmacher (60) will be inaugurated on Saturday as the new Secretary General of the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA), the representative body of evangelical Christians worldwide. He is the first German to hold this office.
My article on „Christian Witness in a multi-religious World“ (2011) in the magazine of the Protestant Association of Germany (Evangelischer Bund) is currently only available in German.
In this article I am concerned with the question whether apologetics of the Christian faith towards other religions and world views is basically compatible with an interreligious dialogue.
The Deputy Secretary General of the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA), Thomas Schirrmacher, has drawn a positive conclusion regarding its international program of dialog with leading Muslim clerics around the world.
The Chairman of the Theological Commission of the World Evangelical Alliance, during an address in Osnabrueck entitled “Christ Alone” and held upon the anniversary of the Reformation, has defended the thesis that the age of global dialog where religions are made out to be the same is coming to an end.
