Abstract
This article offers a critical review of Peter Phan’s last volume in his trilogy, Being Religious Interreligiously: Asian Perspectives on Interfaith Dialogue. As a first-generation Vietnamese Roman Catholic priest and theologian, Phan articulates in this collection both his theology of “inclusive pluralism” and discusses from an Asian theological perspective several important issues in relation to interreligious dialogue, such as Catholic identity, multiple religious adherence, peace building, and liturgical enculturation. However, the most important contribution of this work to interreligious dialogue lies not in its theology of religions, but in its integration of theology, dialogue, and transformative enculturation on a very practical level. Despite the impressiveness of the book’s scope and depth, Phan like other pluralists (although he is not a typical pluralist), ignores the important epistemological and existential differences among religions. As such, his position goes beyond that of “religious pluralism”, not to mention that of “religious toleration”, as well as beyond a complementary approach to which he has referred.
