Abstract

In this article, my objective is to argue for the compatibility between religious diversity and Christian theism by invoking the concept of divine creativity. I propose that, if God is a being of infinite powers and infinite creativity, He is such that it is possible for Him to create different and varied realities in a continuous process of creation. More than that, given His infinite creativity, God can reveal Himself in the most creative and diverse ways possible. There is no need for Him to reveal Himself as one and in a unique way, as some scholars of Christian theism argue. Basing my discussion on these ideas, I suggest that from the infinite creativity of God, it is possible to develop an argument in favour of a transformative pluralist view in face of religious diversity.

上帝的创造力和宗教多样性:一种变革性多元主义的有神论论证

在这篇文章中，我的目标是通过援引神圣创造力的概念来论证宗教多样性和基督教有神论之间的兼容性。我认为，如果上帝是一个具有无限力量和无限创造力的存在，那么他就有可能在一个连续的创造过程中创造不同的和不同的现实。更重要的是，神有无限的创造力，他能以最具创造力和多样性的方式来显示他自己。他没有必要像一些基督教有神论学者所说的那样，以一种独特的方式显示他自己。基于我对这些观点的讨论，我认为，从上帝的无限创造力来看，面对宗教多样性，有可能发展出一种支持变革的多元主义观点的论点。
