| Summary: | Religious pluralism represents one of the greatest challenges of our post-Christendom era, and one that Evangelicals should carefully navigate. Some of the more popular reactions to it have included a denial of deep religious differences, and the assumption that exclusivism is equated with intolerance. This essay considers Stephen Prothero's thesis in his book God is Not One, that the world's religions include real and irreconcilable differences, and then from that starting point contrasts approaches to pluralism in the area of difference and exclusivism. The essay then suggests that while exclusivism has been associated with intolerance, this is not necessarily the case. A positive form of Christian exclusivism is presented as the best way forward for Christians. |
