It &ldquo\;marks acts of faith seeking understanding\, whic h are rooted in a particular faith tradition but which\, from that foundat ion\, venture into learning from other faith traditions&rdquo\;.Clooney&rs quo\;s articulation of the central premise and core activity of comparativ e theology provides an important corrective to the dominant ethos of \ ;our times: one marked by a binary opposition of &lsquo\;us against them&r squo\;. Rather than fueling modern day identity politics\, comparative the ology provides a means of transcending boundaries and occupying hybrid spa ces of religious encounter and dialogue. While some may see such an encoun ter with difference as transgressive\, comparative theology maintains that it is precisely in learning with and from the other that one&rsquo\;s own identity is enriched.\nKEYNOTE SPEAKERS\n\nProfessor Francis X Clooney SJ \, Harvard University\, Parkman Professor of Divinity and Professor of Com parative Theology\nProfessor Catherine Cornille\, Boston College\, Newton College Alumnae Chair of Western Culture and Professor of Comparative Theo logy\nProfessor Marianne Moyaert\, VU Amsterdam\, Professor of Comparative Theology and Hermeneutics of Interreligious Dialogue\nReverend Dr Diego S arrió\; Cucarella\, Pontifical Institute for Arabic and Islamic Stud ies (PISAI)\, Rector and Professor of Arabic and Islamic Studies and edito r of the PISAI journal Islamochristiana\nDr Emmanuel Nathan\, Australian C atholic University\, Senior Lecturer in Biblical Studies and Comparative T heology\nDr Makoto Sawai\, Tenri University\, Japan\, has a research focus largely on mystical Islam\nFr Yesudasan Remias\, KU Leuven\, studies the Hebrew Bible alongside the majority Hindu traditions of his native India\n \nIn addition\, a number of conference participants will present papers.\n CALL FOR PAPERSThe ACU 2019 International Conference on Comparative Theolo gy is now seeking paper submissions from junior and senior scholars.

This stream especially welcomes contributions on the pedagogies of interr eligious encounter (interfaith education\, education in a multi-faith cont ext\, education in a dialogical context etc). In addition\, the stream inc ludes the intersection of comparative theology with scriptural reasoning. \nSacred texts\, liturgies and literature: an in-depth analysis and compar ison of sacred texts\, literature or liturgical rites from two discrete re ligious traditions. See\, for example\, Clooney&rsquo\;s Hindu God\, Chris tianGod (2001\, OUP)\, which offers a careful study of key ideas common to the Hindu and Christian religious traditions.\nComparative theology as pe rformance: this stream welcomes papers from theorists and practitioners ac ross the fields of music\, art\, poetry\, cinema and theatre etc. Papers i n this stream must contain a component of comparative theology or interrel igious learning.\n\nProposals should be 200 to 300 words in length.
