metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article considers the original classification of four types of interreligious dialogue
  as follows: 1. Intention (the motivation to come into contact with a representative
  of another religion); 2. Goal (tasks and goals pursued by the participants in
  the dialogue); 3. Principles (the starting points, which determine the interaction);
  4. Form (participants in the dialogue, meeting form). Among the most important
  criterion is intention, which identifies the types of polemical, peacemaking, cognitive
  and partnership dialogue. These types of dialogue are aligned respectively
  around the following questions: Who is right?, How can we live together peacefully?,
  Who are you? and What can we do to improve the world?. The place of theology
  in each type of interreligious dialogue is examined. In the context of religious
  pluralism, the spread of new religious movements, as well as a tendency towards
  convergence of religions, theology has not lost its importance as a tool to protect
  one’s faith and provided a reasoned justification of its benefits. In the framework of
  cognitive dialogue, the significance of theology is analyzed in such areas as theology
  of religions, the formation of attitudes towards followers of other religions, comparative
  theology, and spiritual dialogue. One of the main strategies for peacemaking
  dialogue is to identify the similarities of religious worldviews in dogma and ethics.
  Three areas of cooperation of religions in partnership dialogue are distinguished:
  “individual,” “society,” and “environment.” The role of theology is to identify possible
  paths and comprehend the conceptual grounds for interreligious cooperation.
  The author comes to the conclusion that the place of theology in the field of interreligious
  relations is wide and diverse. Consideration of this complex problem requires specification, that is clarification of the role of theology in various types of interreligious dialogue — polemical, peacemaking, cognitive and partnership, as
  well as their subspecies.
