Abstract
Apparently, there are radical differences among religions in their understandings of the nature, way and goal of salvation. If one considers religions as different ways to the same destination, their differences may be largely neglected. If one considers them as entirely divergent, the possibility and desirability of inter-religious dialogue may be ruled out. Based on the methodological discussion in religious studies, especially the comparative studies of salvation(s) and the neuroscientific studies of religious experience, this essay examines the multiplicity of salvation in religions, and further explores the significance of a multi-dimensional understanding of salvation for the issue of religious diversity and inter-religious dialogue.
表面上看，不同宗教對拯救的本質、途徑及目的，似有截然 不同的論述。若說不同宗教是殊途同歸，似在一定程度上否 定不同宗教間的差異;然而，若說是分道揚鑣，則又似抹煞 宗教間對話的可能性及可欲性。本文嘗試從宗教研究方法論 的視角，尤其宗教比較學對拯救的討論以及神經科學對宗教 經驗的研究，考量諸宗教對拯救的理解的多重性，並探討一 種多維度的拯救觀對於理解宗教多樣與宗教對話的意義。
