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 multi-faith world.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    In the midst of public and private debate about the place of Christianity and the Gospel in our pluralistic multi faith society, here we have an academic work which makes the recovery of Christian mission possible. This is an in depth study of various cultural and theological concepts, many of which were new to me and stimulating to read. The key context in which he compares relative theology is the Asian world. This has much to show us in the west, but getting my head round some of the concepts from other faith traditions was a stretch. Even some of the Christian theology was new to me, like the reflection on the academic work of Raimando Panikkar who explored ‘Christic Theandrism’ as the ‘Unknown Christ of Hinduism’. This is a specialist book bringing a great deal of in depth material together. The wider appeal will be the conclusion which helpfully suggests how we can present the Christian Gospel today.
