Interreligious dialogue based on the covenant

Abstract

Although theoretical approaches are necessary in interfaith dialogues, they are not sufficient. It is better to proceed with a real experience based on the teachings related to the roots of religions. This can happen in practice based on spirituality and by relying on the inner aspects of religions and also by overcoming the limitations of personal beliefs and with a positive attitude towards all religions and respecting other believers. In this context, monotheism can be a suitable basis for dialogues between religions, but the fact is that the theology of religions is the subject of many debates in terms of epistemology, and as a result, as an issue, it needs more studies and discussions. Worship can also be considered as the common basis of religions. But worship with different manifestations is basically a personal relationship and a kind of inner encounter with God, and its content is basically a personal experience. But the doctrine of "covenant" is very clear, especially in the main Abrahamic religions, and it needs less explanation than some theological doctrines. In addition to this, the covenant doctrine is common in our daily lives on a smaller scale, and its meaning, concept, and role in social life are more or less clear to everyone.
