| Summary: | This article argues that the cultural transformation of our times, and the world-community it is bringing into being, compel Christian thought to re-assess the “exclusivist” position which has made genuine dialogue with non-Christian religions almost impossible. It is suggested that the two basic axioms of Christian faith (affirming the unique status of Christ in the plan of God and the universality of the salvation which he has brought) can retain their absolute character without impeding a dialogue in which Christians have much to learn from other religious traditions. This will mean that the healthy agnosticism demanded by Christian faith itself is to be taken seriously. |
