The Four Views on Salvation in a Pluralistic World (Revised) (Revised)

<p><strong>Religious pluralism is the greatest challenge facing Christianity in today's Western culture.</strong> The belief that Christ is the only way to God is being challenged and increasingly Christianity is seen as just one among many valid paths to God.</p><p>In <em>Four Views on Salvation in a Pluralistic World</em> four perspectives are presented by their major proponents: </p><ul><li><strong>Normative Pluralism</strong>: All ethical religions lead to God (John Hick)</li><li><strong>Inclusivism</strong>: Salvation is universally available but is established by and leads to Christ (Clark Pinnock)</li><li><strong>Salvation in Christ</strong>: Agnosticism regarding those who haven't heard the gospel (Alister McGrath)</li><li><strong>Salvation in Christ Alone</strong>: Salvation depends on explicit personal faith in Jesus Christ alone (R. Douglas Geivett and W. Gary Phillips)</li></ul><p>This book allows each contributor to not only present the case for his view but also to critique and respond to the critiques of the other contributors.</p><p><strong>The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and form their own educated opinion.</strong></p><p> </p>
