ABSTRACT
This chapter proposes an account of Theology Without Walls (TWW) that has for its goal interreligious wisdom gained by means of engagement not with just the claims of other traditions but also their ends and the means to those ends. At least some who engage in TWW will do so by way of multiple religious participation, that is by taking up practices drawn from the repertoire of more than one religious tradition, practices that provide access to the spiritual ends/goals prized by the traditions in question. I offer a rudimentary sketch of this version of TWW, commend its desirability and importance, and describe some of the unique conceptual and practical challenges that come with it. Not all will be drawn to the appeals and demands of this style of theological engagement. Nonetheless, I commend this account of TWW because it affords access to what I call interreligious wisdom, first-order knowledge of ultimate reality gained by drawing from the resources of more than one religious tradition.
