DOWNLOAD EBOOK"The Bible and tradition teach that God desires the salvation of all human beings. How has the church understood this idea through the ages, especially in relation to other Christian and non-Christian theologies? This book maps out the key developments in official church teaching on the universal salvific will of God, from the early church through the pontificate of Benedict XVI. The book discusses the paradigms of exclusivism, inclusivism, and pluralism, along with the parallel concepts of ecclesiocentrism, Christocentrism, and theocentrism. The author also provides a detailed review of recent contributions made by several prominent Catholic and Protestant theologians on this issue."--BOOK JACKET.
