Book Reviews of Is Jesus the Only Savior?

Book Review: Decent arguments crippled by prejudice.
Summary: 2 Stars

If Nash's analysis suffers from any one thing, it may be pride. Though his arguments against pluralism and inclusivism are well worth considering, they are constantly crippled by the author's semi-veiled disdain for those who hold such views. For the pluralist argument, Nash considers the philosophical and spiritual development of John Hick but never quite gives him quite a fair analysis. Instead, he makes statements such as that found on pg. 15, "And as with almost all his neo-liberal peers, it apparently never occurred to Hick to examine critically the faulty presuppositions that had led him to deny even the possibility of divinely revealed truth." Such a slap in the face to a respected, if misled, philosopher is quite unnecessary and takes away from Nash's credibility as a scholar. Similar, if milder, sentiments are found in Nash's analysis of Clark Pinnock's inclusivism.

Another drawback to the book is that it simply does not cover the material thoroughly. Nash writes with the confidence that his arguments are conclusive and unlikely to be refuted by those with any true respect for the Bible. However, especially in the inclusivism study, he does little more than summarize inclusivist views on certain Scriptures and interject his own opinions as to their mediocrity. This is simply inadequate.

Overall, Nash's book might be recommended to those who are already of the exclusivist mindset and want an overview of the opposing perspectives. However, anyone actually struggling with their view should look elsewhere. The lack of depth and the veiled disrespect will likely inspire nothing but disappointment in many readers.
