This article explores how the theme of inter‐religious dialogue is addressed in Evangelii Gaudium , in comparison with Together towards life and also The Cape Town Commitment . Its thesis is that these mission documents of the three main global Christian denominations, drafted within three years of each other, address almost similar contextual concerns in the contemporary era. In particular, the reality and challenge of religious and cultural pluralism leave the churches with little choice but to attend to them, especially given that Christianity has become a post‐Western religion while at the same time the West is also becoming post‐Christian.
