Abstract
"In order for us to clearly perceive the .I.challenge of teaching Scripture in a pluralistic age, I believe we must understand what we mean by pluralistic, or pluralism. We are using the word within the context of religion; therefore, to speak of religious pluralism is to say "that, all religions are intrinsically of equal value" (Gaybba 3). In a pluralist position, less emphasis is placed on Christ-centered theology and more emphasis is given a God-centered theology. Moreover, it is the God who has many names who is the focus, and not the God of Judeo-Christianity. In this view God is known in many revelations, all of them salvific in value. The Christian drama is one among several divine disclosures. Jesus is savior, but not the only savior; central, but not final; special, but not exclusive. Christianity is true, but it is not the only truth (Robbins 38)"
