WILL MANY BE SAVED? What Vatican II Actually Teaches and Its Implications for the New Evangelization by RALPH MARTIN

Description

In WILL MANY BE SAVED? Ralph Martin focuses primarily on the history of the debate about whether and how people who have not had the chance to hear the gospel can be saved. He also traces the development of responses to this question within the Catholic Church.  Martin analyzes the DOGMATIC CONSTITUTION ON THE CHURCH, the document that directly relates to this question.  Martin argues that according to this document, the conditions under which people who have not heard the gospel can be saved are very often, in fact, not fulfilled, with strong implications for evangelization.
