As Christians seek to understand the theological implications of religious
diversity, three positions have come to the fore in Christian thought.
(1) Christian pluralism holds that all religions are equally valid and
equally effective at bringing people to salvation; (2) Christian inclusivism
holds that while Christianity is uniquely true, Christ makes salvation
available to all people, including people outside of the church; (3) Christian
particularism (or exclusivism) holds that only those who have explicitly
confessed the faith and been baptized can be saved. This presentation will
consider arguments associated with each position, highlighting strengths
and weaknesses of each, and hopefully providing a foundation for further
reflection.
Guest Speaker:
Prof. Dan Eppley of the McMurry University Department of Religion

| This lecture is the forth in our new Chautauqua Learning Series. The Learning Series is based on the Chautauqua
movement which spread throughout the rural United States in the late 19th
and early 20th centuries. It provided educational lectures and entertainment
for average Americans before the advent of mass media like radio and television.
The Texas Frontier Heritage and Cultural Center™ is proud to continue the
spirit of that tradition in the unique setting of the Buffalo Gap Historic
Village. |
