Pluralism.......schmuralism.

First Theology: God, Scriptures & Hermeneutics In his excellent book, VanHoozer argues that religious pluralism, so oft espoused as more "tolerant" than traditional Christian exclusivism, is actually imperialistic and dogmatic in a way that Christian theology has never been. Christian theology has sought to respect other religions AS OTHER, while religious pluralism "respects" other religious systems AS THE SAME. The exclusivism of Christianity allows us to treat Muslims as wrong, but respectably wrong, rather than (as pluralists would have it!) unwittingly deceived along with the rest of us. VanHoozer's book is a must read for those interested in a responsible "conservative" criticism of many of the fads of modern theology.
