DOI: 10.1558/equinox.43306

Blurb:

Taking a critical stance towards the terms "atheists", "religious people", and "dialogue" this chapter explores what kind of interaction might be termed "interworldview dialogue". It notes various examples of exchanges using the fourfold typology of dialogue (life, action, theological exchange, religious experience) as a frame to consider a variety of encounters of more or less irenic or polemical interaction.
