Relativism and Other Religions

(Chapters 11 & 12)

Relativism has become rampant in our culture. At least two-thirds of people surveyed denied the existence of absolutes. Lewis wrote The Abolition of Man in response to this issue in his time. He regarded it as his most important book. Lewis also wrote about the truth of Christianity compared to other religions. He did not exclude truths in other religions or some areas of overlap, between different ones but he did claim that Christianity’s assertions were true. In fact, if the historical facts claimed are true, believing in it is of infinite importance. If not true, it is of no importance. The one thing it cannot be is of moderate importance. Lewis did believe that salvation was only through Christ, but he also speculated about how others who didn’t know the name of Jesus might be saved.
