In Many Paths, Eugene Hilman, a pioneer in the area of inter religious dialogue and Catholic thought, argues that the wider ecumenism to which Christians were summoned by Vatican II may prove to be the most radically demanding of the Council's many calls. It requires a reexamination of christology, of ecclesiology, of missiology and a coming-to-terms with the reality of religious pluralism. By exploring religion's historiocultural dimensions, examining the Church's tradition and practice vis-a-vis other cultures and religions, and explicating the challenges of a post-Vatican II ministry, Many Paths makes a vital contribution to the development of inter religious dialogue.
