The Christian faith is grounded upon a confession that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the only Saviour of humanity. Yet in an age where Christianity is now labelled a "post-western religion" in the increasingly post-Christian West, how are we to reaffirm the only Way, Truth and Life?
Christ the One and Only brings together a range of internationally renowned writers to discuss the uniqueness of Christ in relation to Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism and Spiritism. Reflecting on the globalization of Christianity in areas such as Asia, Africa, and Latin America, this book presents an affirmation of Christ’s uniqueness in a global context.
