This Gold Medallion Award–winning book presents a persuasive case for Christ as the only way to God. Is Jesus the only way to God? This clear, critically-acclaimed, scholarly response to that question affirms the deep need for the Gospel’s exclusive message in today’s increasingly pluralistic global community. The Gagging of God offers an in-depth look at the big picture, shows how the many ramifications of pluralism are all parts of a whole, and then provides a systematic Christian response.
Scripture references are linked directly to Greek and Hebrew texts, along with the English Bible translations of your choice. For any word in any language, you can double-click on that word and your digital library will automatically search your lexicons for a match. That gives you unprecedented access to linguistic data, along with all the tools you need for exegesis and interpretation.

- History of pluralism, especially the revolution in hermeneutics, literary theory, and epistemology
- Addresses religious pluralism, notably the work of John Hick and David Tracy, and of inclusivists such as Clark Pinnock and John Sanders
- Argues for the Bible’s foundational “plotline,” and addresses the uniqueness of Christ
- Analyzes the Christian’s stance in a pluralistic culture across such diverse fields as education, law, and morals
- Looks at how pluralism has penetrated the evangelical camp and offers a thoughtful look at how to evangelize in a postmodern generation
The Gagging of God makes a tremendous contribution . . . highly recommended.
—Evangelical Journal
. . . on the issues of pluralism, postmodernism, and biblical interpretation, it is a splendid resource.
