In recent years the term "religious pluralism" has come to be used
not only in a descriptive sociological sense but also as
theologically prescriptive. Within this new paradigm traditional
Christian understandings of Christ, conversion, evangelism, and
mission have been radically reinterpreted. The Recovery of Mission
explores the pluralist paradigm through the work of three of its
most influential Asian exponents - Stanley Samartha, Aloysius
Pieris, and Raimundo Panikkar - subjecting each to a theological
and philosophical critique. On the basis of biblical, patristic,
and contemporary theological writings Vinoth Ramachandra argues for
the uniqueness and decisiveness of what God has done for us in
Jesus Christ. Ramachandra seeks to show that many of the valid
concerns of pluralist theologians can best be met by
reappropriating the missionary thrust at the heart of the gospel.
The book ends with suggestions, challenging to pluralists and
conservatives alike, as to how the gospel needs to be communicated
in a multifaith world.
