These and similar questions have long been contemplated by people from every religious persuasion and every walk of life. But in a culture of increasing diversity and growing doubt in the existence of \"objective truth,\" it seems ever more pressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this Spectrum Multiview volume three scholars present the span of evangelical conviction on the destiny of the unevangelized. Ronald Nash argues the \u003ci\u003erestrictivist\u003c\/i\u003e position, that receptive knowledge of Jesus Christ in this life is necessary to salvation. Gabriel Fackre advocates \u003ci\u003edivine perseverance, \u003c\/i\u003e with the expectation that those who die unevangelized receive an opportunity for salvation after death. And John Sanders sets forth the \u003ci\u003einclusivist\u003c\/i\u003e case--asserting that though God saves people only through the work of Jesus Christ, some may be saved even if they do not know about Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs each scholar presents his own case and responds to strengths and weaknesses of differing positions, readers are treated to a lively and informative debate. \u003ci\u003eWhat About Those Who Have Never Heard?\u003c\/i\u003e is a truly helpful book on one of today's--and every day's--most crucial questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpectrum Multiview Books offer a range of viewpoints on contested topics within Christianity, giving contributors the opportunity to present their position and also respond to others in this dynamic publishing format.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eGabriel Fackre is Samuel Abbot Professor of Christian Theology Emeritus at Andover Newton Theological School in Newton Centre, Massachusetts.
