This article examines how Christian soteriology has responded to religious diversity. Classical versions of Christianity typically insist on conscious and explicit faith as a necessary requirement for salvation. However, from the beginning, this demand has been mitigated, and different arguments have been provided to ensure the possibility of salvation of those who are outside the church proper. In the first centuries of Christianity, the focus was on those who had been born before the Christian era or were otherwise unable to participate in Christian fellowship. More recently, the discussion has centred on the spiritual and epistemic integrity of different religions
