MEZA RUEDA, José Luis. FROM CHRISTOLOGY TO CHRISTOPHANY: A DIALOGUE BETWEEN DUPUIS AND PANIKKAR. Theol. Xave. [online]. 2012, vol.62, n.173, pp.115-135. ISSN 0120-3649.

Do men and women from other religions reach salvation? If the message of salvation revealed in Jesus Christ is meant for all humanity, regardless race, gender, condition, and time, such an issue cannot be regarded as a minor one, and it was not either for the theologians in the Second Vatican Council fifty years ago. To this respect, some of the ideas proposed by J. Dupuis in his work Toward a Christian Theology of Religious Pluralism suggest an encounter between the Belgian theologian and Raimon Panikkar. Without a doubt, both agree about the occurred turn: it was a movement from an ecclesiological view to a Christological one; however, this movement has forced us to wonder one more time about our Christic understanding, and, in that sense, about the validity of the Panikkarian proposal of Christophany.

Keywords : Christology; Christophany; revelation; salvation; theology of religious pluralism.
