An examination of the uniqueness and universality of Jesus Christ
and what this might mean in today's plural world. These days there
are tremendous pressures on Christians to conform to a libertarian
vision of a multifaith society where no one makes truth-claims
about their faith. In such a situation, Christians need to think
afresh about the uniqueness and universality of Jesus Christ and
what this might mean in today's plural world. In this book, Bishop
Michael Nazir-Ali shows how Jesus' understanding of himself and his
work bears on contemporary cultures and their values: what does the
gospel affirm, what does it fulfil and what does it challenge? How
does our understanding of the crucified and risen Lord affect our
view of the human condition? How can we evaluate the different
religious traditions of the world in the light of Christ? How can
we be welcoming and hospitable but also committed to that
conversion and transformation of individuals and of human societies
which has been revealed as God's purpose in Christ? Christian
claims of uniqueness have a direct bearing on what informs the
social order. This book tackles the challenge of relativism in the
contemporary social and political arena head-on.
