Comparative theology is a normative field committed to discovering or advancing theological truth. Interested in enriching the home tradition, and aiming to reach clear or particular normative results, it is "more than" just an intellectual exercise. There are various approaches to the discipline. The dialectical approach seeks to expose false dichotomies between religions. The confessional approach seeks to learn from other traditions, using them as catalysts to highlight or restore the truth in the theologian's home tradition. The meta-confessional approach has no obvious sign of identification with a particular religion, and instead of taking advantage of the fruits of encountering other religions in its home tradition, it even goes beyond the acceptable boundaries of the self-understanding of the comparative theologian's tradition, and, by examining the entire spiritual resources of mankind, seeks a universal theology, aspiring to seem reasonable and thoughtful without being rooted in a particular religious tradition. The interreligious approach, however, is in the middle of confession and meta-confession, considering the mutual enrichment and clarification of two religious traditions. This approach can on one side of the spectrum, lead to dual religious belonging; and on the other, it may take on an evangelistic character.
