Abstract

In Slovenia, the development of interreligious dialogue between the Catholic Church and non–Christian religions was inspired mostly by the fundamental theologians of the Faculty of Theology in Ljubljana. In accordance with the Vatican II vision, they have been preparing students for dialogue for over a half century and have themselves also been involved in dialogical activities. In this way, they have shaped the character of Catholic scholars in Slovenia significantly — both of the clergy and the laity — who in the course of their education have learned the meaning of Christian dialogue with other religions. However, lecturers of fundamental theology not only lectured on dialogue but also lived it in their own circumstances. They were responsible for dialogue with non–believers, especially in respect to ecumenical and interreligious dialogue. Dialogue with the Muslims who are present in relatively large numbers in Slovenia (approximately 5%) has been particularly fruitful.
