Abstract:
Evangelical pastors often feel conflicted about interfaith dialogue due to perceived conflict between sharing the gospel and loving one’s neighbor. This paper will argue that The New Testament narrative of the Reign of God, interpreted from the perspective of critical pedagogy, provides a theologically grounded model for evangelical engagement in interfaith dialogue and cooperation. It also suggests a model for what such dialogue might look like in the context of one Vineyard church’s journey of relationship with a neighboring Islamic Center.
