Average Rating:
 Rating: - Only Geivett/Phillips really delve into scripture.If you are interested in the different ways Christian's view salvation from an orthodox perspective, this is a good one. I think Hick's contribution should have been left out. His essays would fit better in a book with a Christian, muslim, and bahai or something. But lumping in him with a bunch of Christians is just annoying and distracting. I came to this book with an open mind because I frankly don't have a problem if hard restrictivism is true due to William Lane Craig's philosophical ...

You haven't been in ministry long if you haven't been bombarded with questions like these. Do you ever find yourself struggling to articulate compassionately the exclusivity of Christ for salvation?

For the lay person who has a full time job, the various views presented can get you up to speed quickly. What is lacking in depth is made up for in breadth. This book on religious pluralism is just as fresh today as in was when this book was written. All four views are well represented and the format where each author responds to the others is very good. For those who want to dig deeper on this topic, I would recommend ... Read More Rating: - Challenging but worthwhile...This book offered an expansive and surprisingly lively exchange between four streams of theological thought pertaining to the relationships between Christianity and other religions, specifically in connection with salvation. John Hick represented the pluralism camp, Clark Pinnock represented the inclusivist camp, Alister McGrath represented a more broadly defined camp within particularism, and Douglas Geivett and Gary Phillips jointly represented a narrower branch of particularism. I found the ... Read More Rating: - Informative, but limited in scopeThis will be brief. Overall I am pleased with the Counterpoints series Zondervan has published, but like the publisher, these works are filtered through a fairly conservative lens. The present volume is a case in point. The editors admit in their introduction they agree with a particularist approach to salvation (i.e., exclusivist, traditional, etc), and while I certainly appreciate this nod towards being transparent in their editorship, as I read through the book it didn't take long to realize I would need to ...
