Paul R. Eddy 
John Hick’s Pluralist Philosophy of World Religions [PDF ebook] 

Support

According to John Hick’s model of religious pluralism, all the world’s great religions present equally valid ways of understanding and responding to the same ultimate Reality. This book offers an exposition of, and critical response to, Hick’s model. Following an introductory chapter that surveys dominant approaches to religious diversity, the rise and development of Hick’s pluralist interpretation of religions is traced. Finally, a critical assessment of Hick’s mature pluralist model is offered. The conclusion: Hick’s model is ultimately unsuccessful in overcoming the pluralist’s most difficult conceptual problem, namely providing an adequate account of the fact that the world’s religions understand the divine Reality in often contradictory ways. Ultimately, Hick’s own solution threatens two of his long-cherished goals: a robust religious realism and a tradition-neutral religious pluralism.
