Pluralism, exclusivism, and the theoretical virtues
Religious Studies 42 (2):193-206 (2006)
| Abstract | This paper argues that John Hick's commitment to the moral principle of altruism undermines his pluralistic claim that all of the major world religions are equally efficacious from a soteriological perspective. This argument is placed in a context of a discussion evaluating the theoretical virtues of various hypotheses about religious diversity. (Published Online April 7 2006). | |||||||||
