Video: How Many Ultimate Realities Are There? Religious Diversity and the Trinity
Watch video of a March 10 talk by John Thatamanil discussing "How Many Ultimate Realities Are There? Religious Diversity and the Trinity."
Christian theologians have long sought a way to understand religious diversity without explaining diversity away. In this lecture, John Thatamanil will address religious diversity by arguing for a complex view of ultimate reality. He will appeal to three key terms -- Mystery, Contingency, and Relation -- and show how this particular "trinity" can help us understand and learn from the differences between Hindu, Christian and Buddhist traditions without erasing diversity or dismissing unity.
The Mafoi Carlisle Bogitsh University Seminar in Religion and Culture is supported by a gift from Burt Bogitsh, professor of biology, emeritus, and his family in honor of Mafoi Carlisle Bogitsh.
