This chapter explores the significance of the confession 'Jesus is Lord' in early Christianity and how it challenges traditional religious beliefs and institutions. It highlights the counterintuitive nature of the Christian message, emphasizing self-giving love and the church's engagement with different aspects of life. The chapter also discusses the speaker's personal journey of engaging with different religions and their contemplation about their life and studies as a follower of Jesus.
The project of pluralism promises inclusiveness, tolerance, and peace, but it rarely satisfies. At a Veritas Forum from Harvard, Diana Eck (Harvard) and Vinoth Ramachandra (IFES) discuss the nature of pluralism and the challenges that keep us from genuine dialogue. How can we maintain our deepest core beliefs while also engaging with the beliefs of others? This Forum event from our archives occurred on 5/9/2012.
