No Other Name

You’ve heard the questions and maybe even asked them yourself. At the very least you’ve thought about them…

• Do you have to believe in Jesus Christ to be saved?
• What about those who’ve never heard of Jesus… that innocent native in ________?
• Is there salvation outside of the Christian faith?
• Do people really go to hell?
• Etc., etc., etc.

These are tough questions and they’re asked all the time. In fact, the United Methodist Board of Ordained Ministry, here in Florida, asks a similar question or two in hopes of getting our candidates to wrestle with such things. They'll certainly be asked these kinds of questions in the churches they serve.

Below is a helpful bibliography to serve you in addressing these topics. To be sure, such questions require more thought and time than is usually offered on a television talk show. Perhaps a few of the books below will inform you for your own edification as well as equip you to share what you learn with others.

Happy Reading,
