What about those who have never heard the gospel? What about those who wholeheartedly (but mistakenly) pursue other religions?

These are two key theological questions for us to wrestle with when it comes to world mission. Can the fate of those who have never heard really be eternal lostness?

Church leaders might know what they think of these issues, but how can they teach their congregations about them? Properly understood, they are an encouragement to mission and the fidelity of the gospel.

Dan Strange, whose doctoral work wrestled with some of these topics, leads this seminar, hosted by the FIEC Theology Team.

This is a seminar from the 2025 FIEC Leaders' Conference held in Blackpool from 10-12 November 2025.
