Abstract An argument can be made that futureinter-faith dialogue shouldmove toward the directionof an inter-faith theology ,whichforms an attempt tointegrateinsightsfromdifferent faithperspectivesand ask for their eventual compatibility . Apparent contradictions can and should—according to W.C. Smith—be seen as an″invitation to synthesis″. There is a need for an interreligious theology to have interreligious dialogue . The Buddhist denial and the Christian affirmation of a Divine Creator show that despite the seemingincompatibility ,acloser hermeneutical investigationcanindeed reveal that both sides have much in common in terms of motives and concerns .
