Is Jesus the Only Savior?
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Today, professing that Jesus Christ is the only way to approach God and receive his salvation may seem to some like a form of intolerance or arrogance. A growing number of Christian intellectuals, pastors, and leaders are favoring a more inclusive view of a person's path to salvation.
But what does this mean in practice? Are there biblical or theological means of defending inclusivism or pluralism, or do these views simply pay tribute to modern ethical standards?
The fact is that unity among Christians on this fundamental issue has disappeared. Many people of faith choose among three fundamentally different answers to the question, "Is Jesus the only Savior?" Stated succinctly, these answers are:
In Is Jesus the Only Savior?, Ronald Nash explores the divergent views of pluralism and inclusivism in depth, laying out the reasoning, history, and major supporters behind them; and making a resounding case for exclusivism based on firm theological standards.
Christians of all walks of life will find their faith in Christ affirmed and strengthened by this vital treatise, written in accessible terms and a readable style.

This book was a good read, and I feel gives a good (given the size) examination of Pluralism and Inclusivism from a Exclusivism point of view. I do wonder how much has changed in the 30 years since this book was written. Sadly, the author passed some time ago. I’ve enjoyed other books from Nash, and would argue that as a philosophy professor he sometimes comes over a little harsher than I like. However, he does make good arguments - and does good analysis of the arguments of others. Nice bibliography at the end. A worthwhile read for Christians interested in the arguments for Pluralism and Inclusivism, while realising that both of these approaches no doubt have newer arguments :)
