Abstract The a. analyzes "Christianity and the World Religions," a document of the International Theological Commission approved in 1996 and published in 1997. While appreciating the basic thrust of the document, he points out three problem areas: an acceptance of a standard though misleading typology; a significant inconsistency in contextualizing various magisterial and biblical claims; and the use of language that leads to the appearance of serious epistemic arrogance. He concludes by offering four recommendations for improving the theology of interreligious dialogue.
