On Vulnerability: Probing the Ethical Dimensions of Comparative Theology

Abstract: Though the notion of vulnerability regularly pops up in Clooney's reflections on comparative theology, he does not develop a systematic account of it. What precisely vulnerability is and how it influences interreligious dialog do not receive enough theoretical grounding. In this article I will probe the complexity of this notion and how it plays out in comparative theology.
