Synopsis

In the area of systematics known as the theology of religions, those who affirm the particularity of Christ in terms of truth, revelation, and salvation have always had to deal with the problem of the unevangelized: those who have never heard of Christ through no fault of their own. For evangelical theologians this issue impinges on fundamental tenets of evangelical identity. Recently the fate of the unevangelized has received detailed attention from evangelicals, and has been fiercely debated because of the wider doctrinal issues it raises. The position known as inclusivism has been most fully developed by Clark H. Pinnock, an influential and controversial evangelical theologian, known as being the leading spokesman of Arminianism and a new theistic paradigm entitled the trinitarian openness of God. Through a detailed analysis and critique of his work, this book examines a cluster of issues surrounding the unevangelized and its implications for Christology, soteriology, and evangelical identity.

Review:

"A very thorough investigation of Clark Pinnock's theology which sets it quite clearly within the framework of traditional evangelical thought and shows how and to what extent Pinnock has deviated from that. Dr. Strange has covered the ground as well as anyone could, and his conclusions are both coherent and sensible. It will undoubtedly be an important reference work for anyone interested in current evangelical thought." Professor Gerald L. Bray, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University.

"One of the best contemporary surveys on this debate." Gavin D'Costa
