The Depth of the Riches: A Trinitarian Theology of Religious Ends (Sacra Doctrina: Christian Theology for a Postmodern Age)

"In this work S. Mark Heim probes the Christian understanding of God and salvation and offers a new perspective on religious pluralism that recognizes different religious ends in other faiths. The questions explored here are both difficult and enlightening. What is the distinctive nature of salvation? Is there a place in Christian theology for recognizing other religious ends in addition to salvation? In pursuit of meaningful answers, Heim uses the classical doctrine of the Trinity to develop a theology that respects the possibility that alternative relations with God exist in other religions."--BOOK JACKET.
