Abstract
- Labelling traditional theological responses to these questions as walled-in-answers, the book calls for in-depth investigation of these questions and dwells upon them from outside organized religions and their theologies, which are referred to as "theologies with walls". Johan De Smedt and Helen De Cruz present CSR (cognitive science of religion) as a potential candidate which can provide common ground for conversations across religious traditions, though they do not engage with the idea of TWW directly (they do not even mention the phrase TWW). While the author does not see much difference between open field theology and TWW, he strongly advocates both of them for a meaningful theological conversation about the ultimate in our contemporary times as they open up new hermeneutical space for an open-ended interaction between religions.
