Probing its earliest Qur&#8217;anic formulations and their development in the theology of the first centuries opens up an unexpected site of Christian-Muslim dialogue: what does &#8220;being saved&#8221; mean in each tradition, and from which representation of the God who saves?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The chapter belongs to the third part of the volume, &#8220;<em>Teolog\u00eda al servicio del encuentro<\/em>&#8221; (A Theology at the Service of Encounter), which responds to Pope Francis&#8217;s challenge to universities and ecclesiastical faculties: to think faith &#8220;by taking risks while remaining faithful&#8221; in a world marked by difference, crisis, fear, gender questions and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further details on the <a href=\"https:\/\/dialnet.unirioja.es\/servlet\/articulo?codigo=10200715\"><strong>Dialnet record of the article<\/strong><\/a> and on the <a href=\"https:\/\/dialnet.unirioja.es\/servlet\/libro?codigo=1003276\"><strong>volume<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"featured_media":37153,"template":"","class_list":["post-37160","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"date_tournage":"2025-09-23","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Questions on Islamic Soteriology in Early Islam - Pluriel<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/pluriel.fuce.eu\/en\/article\/questions-on-islamic-soteriology-in-early-islam\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Questions on Islamic Soteriology in Early Islam - Pluriel\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Abstract Published under the original title &#8220;Cuestiones sobre la soteriolog\u00eda isl\u00e1mica en el islam primitivo&#8221; in the collective volume Riesgos y fidelidades.
