Professor John Hick died in February at the age of 90.

He leaves a legacy of over 30 books and countless articles. As a philosopher of religion, Hick has had great influence on many thinkers. He supervised evangelical PhD students William Lane Craig and Harold Netland along with those holding to his own more liberal ideas. Always clear and precise as a writer, his academic books are not difficult to read and his name will probably always be associated with what we call ‘religious pluralism’.

Do all the major world religions provide pathways to the same God and salvation? Hick thought so and sought to persuade others too.
