Abstract
Ronald N. Nash does a great job in his book Is Jesus the only Savior, Ronald Nash not at one time left the truth of the Christian world at all; for a matter of fact Nash only brings out what every Christian should already know. In part one Nash takes apart the argument of Pluralistic1 but at the same time Nash keep in line with his beliefs in Christianity while pointed out Hick’s tactic in chapter five but I must bring out this part of one of Nash answer on p. 75, Nash says “it appears that Hick suffers from a blind spot or two. As Geivett observes, “clearly, Hick’s own moral intuitions have become a control on what he is willing to acknowledge as an authentic account of what Jesus said and did. Ronald N. Nash, p.81, 1994. How many times we see and hear this in today’s world how people want to see Jesus Christ the way they want too rather than to receive what the Bible says about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. But Nash does not stop there but Nash goes on to say “Sir Norman Anderson faults Hick for greatly exaggerating the paucity of positive evidence we have about the one to whom he refers as the largely unknown man of Nazareth. Hick ignores Jesus own statements about his death, as attested by the Synoptic writers (Matt. 20:17-19: 26:12f; Mark 10-33f; Luke 18:31-34).” But in part two Nash takes his time and begin to focus on central points within the text, at the beginning of chapter eight Nash talks to us about General and Special Revelation how God took Abraham, Moses, and Paul, Nash pointed out to us that this is special revelation; because it is to bring human beings to a saving
