Jacques Dupuis was a Belgian Jesuit priest. ==Career== Jacques Dupuis became a Jesuit in 1941. After early religious and academic training in Belgium he left for India in 1948. A 3-year (1948–51) teaching experience at St. Xavier's Collegiate School, Calcutta, made him discover Hinduism through the way it shaped the personalities of the students entrusted to him. This was a discovery - the variety of religions -, and the beginning of a lifelong search: "does God self revelation necessarily pass for all through the person of Jesus Christ?"〔Cf. ("Examining Jacques Dupuis’ Theology of Religious Pluralism" ), by Ambrose Mong Ih-Ren, Chinese University of Hong Kong, 22 November 2011.〕 After being ordained priest in Kurseong, India he completed a doctorate in Theology at the Gregorian University in Rome on the religious anthropology of Origen of Alexandria. He was assigned to teach Dogmatic Theology at the Jesuit Faculty of Theology of Kurseong (later shifted to Delhi, and renamed 'Vidyajyoti College of Theology').〔Cf. ("Remembering Jacques Dupuis" ), by John Allen Jr. on ''The National Catholic Reporter'' of 7 January 2005.〕 Director of the journal 'Vidyajyoti Journal of Theological Reflection' Father Dupuis was also an adviser to the Catholic Bishops conference of India. Besides numerous articles on theological and inter-religious topics, he published in 1973 (with Josef Neuner) a collection of Church documents, 'The Christian Faith', that went into seven editions over 20 years: an invaluable instrument of theological learning for generations of students of Catholicism.〔Cf. ("Jesus with an Asian Face" ), on ''Sedosmission.org'' of August–September 1999.〕 In 1984, after 36 years in India, Dupuis was called to teach Theology and Non-Christian Religions at the Gregorian University of Rome. His book ''Jésus-Christ à la rencontre des religions'' (1989) was well received and promptly translated in Italian, English and Spanish. He was made director of the journal ''Gregorianum'' and appointed consultor at the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jacques Dupuis (priest)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
