Heather Meacock Books

Focusing on the pluralist beliefs of Professor John Hick, Heather Meacock argues for a re-evaluation of traditional Christianity in light of contemporary theological discourse. She explores Hick's integration of Kantian philosophy and societal moral awareness, systematically addressing criticisms of his views. Meacock contends that certain Christian doctrines, like the Incarnation, become less meaningful when taken literally and advocates for a shift in Christianity's self-perception to recognize its status among diverse world religions. This work appeals to students of religion, philosophy, and anthropology.
