Finally, we have Alexander Hendra Dwi Asmara, S.J.’s “Jacques Dupuis’ Trinitarian Christology and its Contributions Towards Interreligious Dialogue.” Here he dares to venture into analyzing some pivotal ideas of the controversial Belgian Jesuit theologian, Jacques Dupuis, in the area of interreligious dialogue. In particular, he tackles the possibility of using Dupuis’ Trinitarian Christology as a lens in understanding other religions and establishing a reciprocally enriching relationship with them, without ending up in the extremes of inclusivism or exclusivism or falling into eclecticism, syncretism and relativism. While some of Dupuis’ ideas may seem appallingly scandalous at first glance, Asmara’s deftly nuanced analysis of his thoughts contextualizes his framework within the purview of the infinity of Trinitarian love and vitality, which is not exhausted in the definitive revelation of Jesus but remains able to communicate Godself with salvific potency in other religions, before and after the Christ-event. As a final application, he asks, can multiple religious belonging be compatible with being a good Christian? Can one, for instance, embrace vegetarianism following the Buddhist doctrine of ahimsa as a way of living out the spirit of Laudato Si’? This is certainly a very interesting read for us in the Asian context where many religions not only coexist but are inextricably intertwined in the daily lives of individuals, families, communities and nations. – from the Editor’s Preface
