Abstract According to biblical-Christian vision there is plurality within God as well as the creatures, as God-willed reflection of his own plurality. Plurality in the world, beginning with our own selves and senses, is to be understood as emerging out of a unity. Dialogue is based on the two poles: unity and plurality. Plurality of human society as well as human cultures and religions is an outcome and reflection of the basic theological truth of Trinity. Without accepting the underlying unity we are unable to launch any project of dialogue or interreligious dialogue. The single economy of salvation is based on the vision of the whole humankind as one family. Whatever God has revealed in the history of salvation has salvific bearing to every human person and even to the whole world. Through dialogue among the religions we seek to find the fuller scope of the salvific truth of God definitively revealed in Jesus Christ. For this each partner of dialogue is demanded and expected to share one's own faith openly and truthfully.
