THE UNIVERSE OF FAITHS:
A critical study of John Hick's Religious Pluralism
By Christopher Sinkinson. Paternoster Press. 184 pages. £14.99
ISBN 1 84227 106 7

John Hick is perhaps most famous for his work as editor of the 1977 volume The Myth of God Incarnate. However, since then he has produced a steady stream of publications on philosophy of religion topics and religious pluralism.

Without doubt he is one of the most significant thinkers of the 20th century. He represents an intellectual enterprise that has filtered down into popular thought so successfully that a commitment to religious pluralism is effectively now the default setting for Western society. There have been many responses to Hick from many different perspectives. But certainly one of the best is offered by Christopher Sinkinson in his recent study.
