The Unique and Universal Christ - Michael Nazir-Ali

These days there are tremendous pressures on Christians to conform to a libertarian vision of a multifaith society where no one makes truth-claims about their faith.

In such a situation, Christians need to think afresh about the uniqueness and universality of Jesus Christ and what this might mean in today's plural world.

In this book, Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali shows how Jesus' understanding of himself and his work bears on contemporary cultures and their values:

• what does the gospel affirm, what does it fulfil and what does it challenge?
• How does our understanding of the crucified and risen Lord affect our view of the human condition?
• How can we evaluate the different religious traditions of the world in the light of Christ?
• How can we be welcoming and hospitable but also committed to that conversion and transformation of individuals and of human societies which has been revealed as God's purpose in Christ?
