Conversaciones transformadoras. Una metodología para el diálogo islamo-cristiano en el campo del pensamiento social religioso

Villagrán, Gonzalo, Conversaciones transformadoras. Una metodología para el diálogo islamo-cristiano en el campo del pensamiento social religioso, Facultad de Teología de Granada, Granada 2017.

In this work, Prof. Villagrán enters the debate around the idea of a comparative theology, a current developed by the American theologian Frank Clooney. Prof. Villagran wants to explore the possibilities of comparative theology as a theological method in the field of Islamic-Christian dialogue. The book gathers the nuances and objections made to this theological current by authors like Tobias Specker or David Tracy. In a second moment, Prof. Villagrán projects the debate around comparative theology into the field of interreligious social thought. Firstly, he reflects on the implementation of the comparative approach in the social and political field; secondly, the author approaches, from a comparative perspective, the concepts of common good, taken from Catholic social thought, and maslaha (public interest), from the Islamic juridical tradition.

Villagrán, Gonzalo, Conversaciones transformadoras. Una metodología para el diálogo islamo-cristiano en el campo del pensamiento social religioso, Facultad de Teología de Granada, Granada 2017.

Le Prof. Villagran propose dans cet ouvrage d’entrer dans le débat sur la théologie comparative, courant proposé par le théologien américain Frank Clooney, pour montrer ses possibilités comme méthodologie théologique pour le dialogue avec l’islam. L’œuvre présente aussi les améliorations et nuances que proposent à cette théologie les travaux de Tobias Specker et David Tracy. Après cette réflexion plus systématique, l’auteur amène le débat au champ de la pensée sociale interreligieuse. Dans un premier temps, il réfléchit sur l’application de la théologie comparative au domaine socio-politique, puis il présente une approche comparative aux concepts du bien commun de la pensée sociale de l’Église et du maslaha (intérêt publique) de la tradition juridique islamique.
