Summary: Mediating Postion of Christian theology of religions
Review: Braaten answers Knitter's book "No Other Name?" by chaning the "?" to the "!." He contends here against the prevailing univeralism, pluralism, etc. that the Christrocentric trinitarian confession is correct and viable. In essence all religions may have "god" but not "Christ." We only can know the real God in the incarnational-sacramental event of Jesus the Christ. The other religions expose only the law to us. However, he leaves out discussion on some of the more troubling issues, e.g. why does God choose only to reveal Himself in Christ and His gospel? While I would take issue with much of Braaten's confession, this is well worth the time and effort and reading and comparing with Knitter's et al.
