Religious Pluralism and Salvation Essay Questions

John H. Hick

1. Explain Hick’s notion of salvation. How, according to Hick, can you recognize a person who has attained salvation?

 

2. How, according to Hick, should we understand the fact that different religions have very different views of divine reality (e.g., as the Holy Trinity, Allah, Brahman, etc.)?

 

3. Different religions disagree about things like whether the universe is eternal, whether people are reincarnated, and so on. Why, according to Hick, are we best off regarding these disputes as both unresolvable and relatively unimportant? Do you agree with Hick about this? Why or why not?
