For the [[Judaism_and_Other_Religions#Inclusive Position|inclusivist]], other religions are explained by his own religion. He acknowledges a world outside his own, but relies on his own worldview to make it comprehensible and give it meaning. He speaks the language of his own theology, and uses its vocabulary to describe outsiders. Some renowned authorities in this category are: Rabbi [[Yehudah Halevi]], some readings of [[Maimonides]], Rabbi [[Yosef Gikkitila]], Rabbi [[Ovadiah Seforno]], Rabbi [[Yaakov Emden]], Rabbi [[Samson Raphael Hirsch]], and Rabbi [[Abraham Isaac Kook]].
In this, he differs from the pluralist, who will address others in their own language. The pluralist can be criticized for trying stepping outside his own religious language rather than pushing its boundaries, but can be admired for naming others in their own terms.
