ABSTRACT
Like the problems of evil and divine hiddenness, the problem of religious diversity is also both a challenge to belief and an issue to which the theist must find an answer in order to maintain faith. Plantinga is one of the best-known Christian exclusivists. He notes that, although he personally agrees with the prophet Nathan's condemnation of David's actions regarding Bathsheba, he recognises that others disagree. Plantinga suggests that, in each case, although both believers may acknowledge that each of them is equally convinced of his/her belief, neither really thinks that both beliefs are equally true; they both think that the other has made some kind of mistake. Hick suggests that the view that only one religion is the right religion is problematic because, in most cases, a person's religion depends upon where they were born. Christianity understands itself as the absolute religion, for all human beings, and no other religion is equal.
