The Word in the experience of revelation in Qur'an and Hindu scriptures

This study intends to be no more than an exercise in listening. Listening to the theios logos appears as the first vocation of the theologian when he enters into contact with other religions. Sometimes, the theology of non-Christian religions seems to be mainly preoccupied with the task of pronouncing judgments on the other religions. The interreligious dialogue thus becomes an exchange of man-made propositions. We believe that it is only from an effort to understand each other's listening to a divine word that a dialogue can start. Our study is made with the desire to serve the theological reflexion on non-Christian religions and thereby to contribute to the dialogue of faith. The pluri-religious world has always been a datum for reflexion for the Christian Community. This is not a discovery of the post-conciliar Church, though one may say that the theology of the non-Christian religions has been one of the major fields of interest of theologians in the last decade.
