Journal of Emerging Trends in Educational Research and Policy Studies (JETERAPS) (Vol 1 No 1)
| Abstract: Society today manifests a plurality of religious traditions. The interest of this paper is in the negative effect of this religious phenomenon, sometimes violent, through religious polemics and how this can be contained. The paper presents and analyzes a religious polemical material against the Roman Catholic Church. A summary of the polemic is first given. Then a possible response of the Roman Catholic Church is provided. Finally, discussing an academic perspective of an emic-etic approach, the paper suggests that this may be a better method of addressing religious polemics. The article thus attempts to provide an academic methodology towards 'Interfaith-Inter-religious Dialogue' in a pluralist society. |
