Omschrijving
Samenvatting:The theology developped by St. Augustine affirmed the central role of conversion as part of theological inquiry, and this concept can be seen as pluralist when the process of inquiry is viewed as dialogue between the self and others. Christians are never purely believers and must engage in rational discourse, and such discourse is never abstractly theoretical but must be relevant to living history. To understand others is to begin grasping god.
