A Survey and Critique of Ayatollah Javadi Amoli’s Views in Tasnim Commentary Regarding Religious Pluralism

The theory of religious pluralism is one of the latest theories that has been developed and pursued by its followers with different goals. In Tasnim commentary, this theory, which has created a lot of controversies, has been introduced in detail and criticized. The author's mastery of this theory and his presentation of a comprehensive discussion that explores various aspects of this theory and the use of rational and narrative arguments are some of the advantages of the discussion. Lack of a transparent answer to the question of salvation, which is one of the most important questions of religious pluralism, the presentation of some intra-religious topics which seem not to be dependable in response to pluralist thought, and the presentation of some Qur'anic citations to confirm the denial of pluralism without taking into consideration some other related verses are criticisms levelled against the issues discussed in this commentary. The present paper, relying on a descriptive-analytical method using library sources, critiques religious pluralism in Tasnim commentary.
