Summary
According to Griffith-Dickson, a theological enquiry that aims to understand the significance of religious experience as a whole must engage with the reality of religious diversity, including the place of religious "others." She explores some ways that such understanding has been sought, including through a theology of religions, comparative theology, interreligious theology, and interfaith dialogue, while emphasizing the value of such understanding.
