Paul Knitter on the person of Christ

John Hick

pp. 202-212

In 1997 Orbis published The Uniqueness of Jesus: A Dialogue with Paul F. Knitter, edited by Leonard Swidler and Paul Mojzes, in which an article by Knitter, Professor of Theology at Xavier University, Cincinnati, was followed by a number of Responses by others, and then a reply by Knitter. What follows is my own Response and part of Knitter's reply to the Responses. Paul Knitter is a long-standing personal as well as theological friend and ally. We both advocate religious pluralism, but whereas my own mission aims beyond as well as within the churches, his has been primarily within the Catholic Church; and I have long been aware that it is very much harder, and also more dangerous, for a Catholic to take up this work than for a Protestant such as myself.
