This essay explores the theories of interfaith dialogue proposed by Yeshayahu Leibowitz and Marcel Dubois. It begins by examining their individual interpretations of Judaism, Christianity, and the feasibility of engaging in dialogue. Leibowitz’s emphasis on “difference” and the perceived impossibility of dialogue echoes Rabbi Yosef Dov Soloveitchik’s influential essay, “Confrontation.” However, while Soloveitchik prohibited interfaith dialogue and abstained from public discourse, Leibowitz actively engaged in public inter-faith dialogue with his friend Marcel Dubois. Through a detailed analysis of a series of filmed debates between Dubois and Leibowitz, this essay argues that Leibowitz’s actions implicitly endorsed a “dialogue of difference.” Progress in this context involves a deeper understanding of the significant divide between Judaism and Christianity, coupled with fostering genuine appreciation and mutual respect for individuals of different faiths. This exchange between Leibowitz and Dubois highlights the gap between theory and practice, shedding light on the concept of difference in interfaith engagement.

概要：

本文探讨了 Yeshayahu Leibowitz 和 Marcel Dubois 提出的跨宗教对话理论。首先考察他们对犹太教、基督教的个人解释以及进行对话的可行性。莱博维茨对“差异”的强调和对话的不可能性与拉比约瑟夫·多夫·索洛维茨克（Rabbi Yosef Dov Soloveitchik）颇具影响力的文章“对抗”相呼应。然而，尽管索洛维茨克禁止宗教间对话并放弃公开言论，莱博维茨却积极与他的朋友马塞尔·杜波依斯进行公开的宗教间对话。本文通过对杜波依斯和莱博维茨之间一系列辩论录像的详细分析，认为莱博维茨的行为隐含地认可了“差异的对话”。在这方面的进展包括更深入地理解犹太教和基督教之间的重大分歧，同时培养对不同信仰的个人的真正欣赏和相互尊重。莱博维茨和杜波依斯之间的交流凸显了理论与实践之间的差距，阐明了跨宗教交往中差异的概念。
