Pluralism sees all religions as legitimate and valid when viewed from within their own cultural background and tradition. The general conception is that no one religion has an exclusive claim on the truth, but all constitute varying conceptions of the Ultimate Reality. In John Stott’s opinion, “Pluralism is an affirmation of the validity of every religion, and the refusal to choose between them, and the rejection of world evangelism.” (Interview in Orange County Register, Oct. 3, 1998) __TOC__
