Abstract

If God wants humans to find religious truth, and if Christianity best represents such truth, then why has God permitted the development and persistence of other religions? This is the question posed by Gerald R. McDermott in the title of his latest book. It is the question that his book sets out to explore and to answer in an admirably direct yet historically informed fashion.
