The concept of inclusive pluralism can combine and hold together the uniqueness and universality of Jesus Christ in the order of salvation and a genuinely positive and salvific value of the other religious traditions for their followers.


In the contemporary time, when people of different cultures and religious traditions are being constantly drawn closer together, interreligious dialogue becomes not only a strategy to engage with the “Others,” but an attitude to deepen one’s faith. Christian faith acknowledges other religious traditions as genuine “ways” and “channels” of salvation for their adherents. This view is conceivable through the framework of “inclusive pluralism,” a theological concept developed by the Belgian-born Jesuit theologian Jacques Dupuis. This work attempts to expound his theological concept and its implication to interreligious dialogue.

Cirilo Boloron Jr. finished his studies in philosophy and theology in the Philippines and pursued a doctoral degree in theology at the Catholic Theological Faculty, University of Vienna, Austria. He is currently working for the Archdiocese of Vienna.
