The Unique and Universal Christ: Jesus in a Plural World

There are tremendous pressures on Christians in the contemporary world to conform to a libertarian vision of a multi-faith 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.

Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali shows how Jesus’ understanding of himself and his work bears on contemporary cultures and their values. He explores critical questions Christians must face. Christian claims of uniqueness have a direct bearing on what informs the social order. Consequently, this book takes on the challenge of relativism in the contemporary social and political arena.
