Is Jesus the Only Savior?

Publisher Description

In this timely book for believers, inquirers, and sceptics alike, James R. Edwards faces head-on the question of whether or not Jesus is indeed the sole saviour of the world. After tracing the currents of modernity from the Enlightenment to the Jesus Seminar, Edwards contends that the assumptions of the most sceptical historical-Jesus scholars are no more intellectually defensible than the claims of faith. He then assembles extensive support to show that Jesus considered himself the unique and saving mission of God to the world.

Edwards devotes the second half of the book to discussing Jesus as saviour in light of contemporary cultural currents, specifically addressing the thorny issues of religious pluralism, moral relativism, postmodernism, and the quest for world peace. Illustrated with real-life stories, Is Jesus the Only Saviour? gives a fair hearing to twenty-first-century concerns while upholding historic Christian faith.

"Grounded in scholarship and common sense, this book lays out in brief compass why Jesus remains the only saviour." - D A Carson.
