| Publisher Description: This essay in Systematic Theology was written under the guidance of Professor Heinrich Ott and awarded the distinction summa cum laude by the University of Basel. It discusses the question -How can the Christ-Event be regarded as the all-determining act of salvation for all men?- The author's Indian background is appa- rent in his concern with adherents of other religions, and those who lived ante Christum natum. His main focus is a discussion of the contributions of Kraemer and Hogg in this field. Shorter essays look at Hocking and Chenchiah. An appendix discusses the relations between Kraemer and Barth." |
