| | | Help me find a quote from "Mere Christianity"
It's been many years since I read it. I'm looking for the place where Lewis steps out of the box and suggests something to the affect that 'we know that salvation is only through Christ but we do not know exactly how everyone is saved in Christ.' I may be getting the gist of this wrong but the context and implication seemed to be that people may be saved through Christ but outside of Christianity as we know it.
Anyone have the exact quote or can tell me what chapter I might find it in? |

The quote is in book 2 ("What Christians Believe"), chapter 5 ("The Practical Conclusion"). The exact quote is "We do know that no man can be saved except through Christ; we do not know that only those who know Him can be saved through Him." It's in the 8th paragraph of the chapter.
