Who Can Be Saved? by Terrance L Tiessen
Throughout history millions have lived and died without hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Despite vigorous missionary efforts, large populations of the world today have never been evangelized. And now religious pluralism has set up shop on MainStreet. The question "Who can be saved?" forces itself on the minds of Christians like never before.
- Is there a wideness in God's mercy?
- Does God reveal himself in a way that invites all people to respond positively in saving faith?
- Does one have to be an Arminian to believe so?
- Or is there a way for Calvinists to see how God might reveal and save apart from the explicit "gospel" and yet exclusively through Jesus Christ?
- And if so, what does this say about the role of religions within the sovereign providence of God?
These are big questions requiring thoughtful care. In this intriguing study, Terrance L. Tiessen reassesses the questions of salvation and the role of religions and offersa proposal that is biblically rooted, theologically articulated and missiologically sensitive. This is a book that will set new terms for the discussion of these important issues.
