In recent years the term “religious pluralism” has come to be used not only in a descriptive sociological sense but also as theologically prescriptive. Within this new paradigm traditional Christian understandings of Christ, conversion, evangelism, and mission have been radically reinterpreted. / The Recovery of Mission explores the pluralist paradigm through the work of three of its most influential Asian exponents — Stanley Samartha Aloysius Pieris, and Raimundo Panikkar — subjecting each to a theological and philosophical critique. On the basis of biblical, patristic, and contemporary theological writings Vinoth Ramachandra argues for the uniqueness and decisiveness of what God has done for us in Jesus Christ. Ramachandra seeks to show that many of the valid concerns of pluralist theologians can best be met by reappropriating the missionary thrust at the heart of the gospel. The book ends with suggestions, challenging to pluralists and conservatives alike, as to how the gospel needs to be communicated in a multifaith world.

4.0 out of 5 stars
an eastern mind understands jesus' mission,
By philip powell (harpenden, england) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Recovery of Misison: Beyond the Pluralist Paradigm (Paperback)
this book was not an easy read for a lay young person but i am glad i still read it. reading this book made realize how little as christians we hear what 'others' are saying. the authour overcomes the listening problem and uses what the three theologians are saying to clarify and crytalize for us the mission of jesus to the world. an excellent book to read to understand the uniquieness of jesus and his message in our pluralistic society.
