Abstract

This article explores similar yet different proposals of Wolfhart Pannenberg and Wilfred Cantwell Smith concerning the appropriate theory and framework of interfaith relations and dialogue. They both see the contemporary situation of a globalized and globalizing world as an imperative for developing a universal theology of human relatedness to the transcendent mystery. Both understand it as a non-confessional theological hermeneutics of the entire religious history of humankind, which must be done in dialogue and interactive cooperation of people from all religious and cultural backgrounds. But for Pannenberg Christian faith is to be offered as the relatively best candidate for the orienting centre, the anticipation and foretaste of the ultimate end of the religious history of humankind. For Smith Christian faith is the orienting centre of religious history, but may be only for Christians, because of its central function in the Christian cumulative tradition and its corresponding form of faith.
