John 14:6 'I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me'.
Dr Timothy Johnson* replies: '...to take this passage and claim that no other understanding or experience of God is meaningful is beyond what I can personally accept or believe. Aside from the very real question of how people who have never heard about Jesus - those born before his time as well as those since his time - could be expected to have this understanding, there is the question of why a given theological formula should be required as normative for all members of the human race regardless of their circumstances or place of birth or cultural background. I believe that the great God of the universe can be revealed in many different circumstances and times'.
