Robert McKim's goal in On Religious Diversity is to distinguish and
examine a number of possible responses to the knowledge of other
religious traditions that are available to all of us today. He
argues that the issues raised will be very pressing throughout the
century we have just begun. There is no escaping the fact that the
presence of competing traditions now confronts each of the
traditions in a new and forceful way. More than ever there is a
widespread if inchoate recognition of genuine religious
sensibilities in others and of genuine religious seriousness that
looks familiar. How might the awareness that there are so many
traditions affect a member of a particular religious tradition?
What attitudes should be taken to the beliefs and salvific
prospects of members of other traditions? McKim examines various
proposed answers to these questions. He argues that these are
generally best thought of as guidelines that in turn admit of
considerable further specification. What look like well-defined and
discrete positions dissolve somewhat under scrutiny, revealing
significantly different possibilities. And what look like clear
distinctions are sometimes better understood as a matter of degree.
McKim suggests where best to look for the most plausible answers,
paying particular attention to the religiously ambiguous nature of
our circumstances.
