- Panikkar
- "I left Europe a christian, discovered I was a Hindu, and returned a Buddhist without ever having ceased being a Christian"
- Life should be a "searching Pilgrimage"
- Christophany- God makes himself known to everyone + for Christians this is through Christ
- Doesn't believe Christianity held more truth as it would limit God's liberty to reveal himself as he chooses
- Criticisms
- Rejects Christ coming to save the world which is the central doctrine of Christianity
- It is no less arrogant from that of the other approaches as God is free to save whoever
- Self- cotradicictory as it says all views are to be respected but it rejects exclusivism and inclusivism
- Thus by claiming to be relativist it is absolutist
- Kant
- Thus all religions are flawed and limited as our human understanding is limited
- Noumenal- the world as it is and phenominal as the world we see through our limited human understanding
- Distinguishes between noumenal and phenomenal world
- Thus no one religion holds the Truth
