The Role of Interreligious Theology in the Development of Christian Religious Education in the Era of Pluralism

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The era of religious pluralism presents challenges for Christian Religious Education to remain relevant. This article discusses the role of interreligious theology in the development of Christian Religious Education, identifying issues of interreligious tension due to exclusivity and internal resistance within the Christian community. The aim of this research is to explore the integration of interreligious theology to enhance understanding and tolerance among religions. Using a descriptive qualitative method with a literature study approach, the findings indicate that this integration can reduce prejudice and negative stereotypes, as well as facilitate inclusive dialogue. Interreligious theology has the potential to enrich Christian Religious Education by fostering an inclusive attitude. Its implementation requires a commitment from educators and policymakers to build peaceful education within a diverse society.
