Interreligious dialogue, Mariology, Christianity in AsiaAbstract
Author in the article tries to enter the interreligious dialogue using as his methodology the theology of interreligious dialogue of Raimundo Panikkar, which is significantly hermeneutical, making distinction between faith (action) and belief (the substance). The two micro narratives in this case, being the basis for the research, are historical events in Christian history: the clash of Christian tradition as well as: 1) Chinese civilization in Tang China; and 2) The Japanese civilization in 16th century Japan. By outlining and analyzing these two stories the author makes and attempt to enter the dialogue between Christianity and the Eastern thought, where the character of Virgin Mary is the key figure. The problem which is discussed here is following: how the figure of Mary could influence and inspire the traditional Asian societies, and what is the role of Mary in the pedagogy of God’s Revelation.
