Overview

While much has been written analyzing the philosophical basis of Hick's pluralism, very little attention has been devoted to the theological foundations of his argument. Filling this gap, this book examines Hick's theological attempts to systematically deconstruct the church's traditional incarnational Christology. Special attention is given to evaluating Hick's foundational theses ""that Jesus himself did not teach what was to become the orthodox Christian understanding of him"" and ""that the dogma of Jesus' two natures . . . has proved to be incapable of being explicated in any satisfactory way."" By elucidating the ways in which Hick's arguments fail, David Nah demonstrates that Hick was unwarranted in breaking away from the church's incarnational Christology that has been at the core of Christianity for almost two thousand years.

Reviews

Nah s work is marked by generous and appreciative words for Hick, Nah hits his target or raises very serious questions that Hick does not answer. --Paul Hedges Modern Believing (01/01/0001)

the book is immensely helpful in carefully outlining Hick s Christology in relation to religious pluralism- and offering a robust rejoinder not unlike that achieved by Carruthers, but Nah certainly brings the debate up to date.--Gavin D Costa Reviews in Religion and Theology (01/01/0001)
