If I believe that my Christian faith is true, just and good, can I support freedom and the presence of other religions in the public space at the same time?
After denouncing two extremes – the totalitarian saturation of a single religion on the one hand and the exclusion of all religions on the other – the author pleads for religious pluralism in a secular society. It shows that we can believe in a truth valid for all men while respecting other ways of seeing the world, precisely in the name of our faith.
Miroslav Volf puts forward the golden rule: “Whatsoever you would have men do for you, do ye also for them” (Matthew 7:12-14). This rule, present in different religions, should inspire “living together” and allow different communities to commit to seeking the common good and living in peace.
A plea for living together according to the Gospel.
