ABSTRACT
We turn to Hick to see how his christology fares: to what extent is his vision of Jesus attentive to others within the tradition, others beyond the tradition and those others invisible to the traditions? The first three sections are outlines of the main features of Hick’s approach – his emphasis on experience, the language of myth, and a common ethic in response to one transcendent reality. Then, in the following three sections, his overall christological vision is measured against the criteria I have been constructing. His sensitivity to the fact of plurality is acknowledged, but the partial shakenness of his approach – also evident in churches – prevents deeper engagement with the otherness of Christian identity, religious difference and sociopolitical solidarity.
