This is the most compelling analysis and refutation yet of the famous typology of stances toward other religions (exclusivism, inclusivismn and pluralism). Collins points impressively to a new theology of religions that affirms both the uniqueness of Jesus Christ and the importance of interfaith learning. A must-read for anyone interested in interfaith dialogue.

In the theology of religions there have been many attempts to critique and move beyond the typology of exclusivism, inclusivism, and pluralism. Here at last is a thoroughly convincing alternative paradigm, creatively developing the categories of Hans Frei. Collins does even more: he shows how his approach both illuminates the Christian ecumenical movement’s significant engagements with other religions during the past century, and also opens up constructive, generous, and humble ways in which Christians can both be true to Jesus Christ and also relate wisely to those in other religious traditions.

Collins carefully shows how Hans Frei can help rethink the entire theology of religions project. With The Unique and Universal Christ, the post-liberal agenda is moved one step forward in a most helpful and constructive manner.
