Abstract

Abstract This chapter identifies what’s minimally involved in the doctrine of salvation, and formulates two arguments from development against it. These arguments are united by the thought that, in the case of our relations to each other, salvation would require access to information humans have recently come to possess but that was not made available through Christ, which means that the doctrine is false. According to the Unsatisfied Factual Requirements Argument, a whole-making reordering of human relations requires access to a variety of ordinary facts, access which was not made available through Christ. The Gender/Sexuality Benightedness Argument focuses on information needed to make right what has gone deeply wrong among us, which includes the oppression of women and of LGBT people. False views about such people have prevailed across many centuries, and Christian teaching has been complicit in this. Thus again a requirement of salvation was not made available through Christ.
