Abstract

In the postmodern society, the globalization process is creating new and urgent problems for the entire mankind, being imperative that the various religious communities look together for effective answers. For facing these realities, there seems to be only one solution: the way of dialogue, in general, and of religious dialogue, in particular. The present paper aims at analysing interreligious dialogue, emphasizing its overwhelming importance in the given context. The first part presents the Christians' attitude to unchristian religions in the light of the Holy Scripture and the Holy Tradition; the second part explores aspects of interreligious dialogue from an Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant perspective; while the third part analyses the missionary imperatives of society nowadays. The paper ends with a few observations and conclusions.
