  • "Berger defines himself as an "inclusivist", and is capable of showing genuine appreciation for other traditions."
  • "If I had to put a label on my own viewpoint, it would have to be 'inclusivist' rather than pluralist or exclusivist, simply because I evaluate other traditions and other worldviews from the perspective of my own, and I cannot do otherwise, and so I do not have a neutral framework from which to declare them all equal or to declare all others inadequate."
