ABSTRACT
A convinced and closed religious particularism rejects interreligious learning in theory, whereas an omnibus “blank slate” inductive approach to religious commitment seems unrealistic in practice. Can those with an explicit confessional location take part in a Theology Without Walls? This chapter explores comparative theology as a systematic practice that continually bridges barriers between specific traditions, erasing the typical isolation between readers of different religious texts, but working in an incremental manner.
