"In the last twenty years or so, the question of religious pluralism has become a burning issue among philosophers of religion and theologians. On the one side are the pluralists, those who hold that all religions or all major religions are different paths to the same God, or Ultimate Reality. On the other side are the exclusivists, who argue that there is only on way to God."
