Salvation as Praxis: A Practical Theology of Salvation for a Multi-Faith World
Overview
Will people of other faiths be “saved” and how should this shape inter-faith relations? Historically, the predominant answer to these questions has been that the person of another faith will not be saved and is therefore in need of conversion to Christianity. Consequently, the traditional view has said that Christians must convert people of other faiths. Drawing on alternative understandings of soteriology such as deification, healing, and liberation, Wayne Morris argues that salvation can be understood as a form of concrete earthly practice and presents an alternative to the belief that the person of another faith is in need of conversion. Further, it asks how the complex multi-faith world of the twenty-first century might better inform and shape the way in which Christian theologies frame soteriology.
