Jacques Maritain, firmly rooted in the Christian
Source of his own conversion to Roman Catholicism,
offers ample appreciation of the world’s other major
religions. He acknowledges natural mystical
experience, even graced encounter, among Hindus,
Buddhists and Muslims. Most prominent is the
attention Maritain gives to Judaism, having
expressed strong public opposition to anti-Semitism
before, during and after the Second World War, as
well as having influenced the expression of Nostra
Aetate, the Second Vatican Council document which
seeks reconciliation with Judaism. Papers concerned
with Maritain’s contribution to interreligious
dialogue in general or in relation to specific
religions are welcome, along with papers exploring
interreligious dialogue from within a context other
than the work of Jacques Maritain.
