| Summary: | Christian exclusivism has increasingly come under sharp attack for supposedly being indefensible in our religiously pluralistic world. In this essay several influential arguments against exclusivism—arguments which claim that exclusivism must be rejected since it is inherently intolerant or that it is based upon faulty notions of religious truth—are critically examined and shown to be deficient. The author concludes that if we are to have a view of the relation among religions which is epistemologically sound and accurately portrays the values and beliefs of the respective religions, something like traditional Christian exclusivism is unavoidable. |
