Theology of dialogue : Trinitarian approach

Abstract

The work introduces dialogue as a mode of human being that had initially been presented by Buber and his followers from a very human perspective. People always exist personally, in a dialogical realm which was viewed by Buber through the prism of the word pair “I and Thou” and later rediscovered ethically by Levinas as “I for Thou’. The above human approach to dialogue is complemented with a sort of theological dimension, which, though not absent from the work of Buber and Levinas, had, strictly speaking, never been viewed from the perspective of Christian Trinitarian theology This is the context in which the term “theology of dialogue” has been developed in the current work.
