The purpose of the article is to clarify the concept of interreligious dialogue and identify the main ways of its interpretation. The author, based on his own experience of studying the problems of interreligious dialogue and participation in its practical implementation, identifies several of the most problematic aspects in the understanding of interreligious dialogue, which often generate ambiguity and uncertainty. First, it is possible to understand dialogue as either exclusively &amp;quot;positive&amp;quot; communication or any form of relationship; in the latter case, interreligious dialogue may include disputes about the truth of religions (polemical dialogue). The second source of misunderstanding is the interpretation of interreligious dialogue either as a comparison of the worldviews of different religions (cognitive dialogue), or as a way of building relationships between believers, carriers of these worldviews (peacemaking/partnership dialogue). Third, we analyze the specific understanding of interreligious dialogue as a means of &amp;quot;mutual enrichment&amp;quot; found in Catholic scholars (&amp;quot;dialogue of spirituality&amp;quot;).</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Experts agree that the term &amp;quot;interreligious dialogue&amp;quot; is ambiguous and can be understood in very different ways, which often leads to confusion.
