Questions for Reflection and Small Groups
- How do you reconcile the exclusive claims of Christianity with the inclusive nature of God's love?
- What are the implications of recognizing "redemptive analogies" or "Christ-figures” in other world religions?
- How can Christians engage with people of other faiths while upholding the belief that Jesus is the unique savior?
- C.S. Lewis referred to Christianity as a "true myth." How does understanding Christ as a historical fulfillment of mythical archetypes affect our reading of the Gospels?
- Can you think of other "Christ figures" in literature or film that resonate with the person of Jesus? Discuss how these figures might serve as bridges to understanding the Gospel message.
