Beschreibung
New hermeneutical challenges abound within the process of
globalisation especially as they pertain to culture and
religion. Consequently, a new form of hermeneutics
approached from an intercultural perspective is needed. This
requires, if not a new set of hermeneutical tools then, at
least, a serious, profound and critical analysis and
constructive adaptation of the already available set of
hermeneutical tools. Intercultural hermeneutics in the
understanding of religion and culture and among cultures and
religions is being proposed here as this new form of art or
science of understanding.
Chibueze C. Udeani is of Igbo origin and
