Study Note
'And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved' — Peter's declaration before the Jerusalem Sanhedrin after healing the lame man at the Temple is the New Testament's most explicit exclusive salvation claim. The phrase 'no other name' is rooted in the Old Testament's exclusive covenant relationship between YHWH and Israel, now transferred to the name of Jesus — identifying Jesus with the salvific function that was YHWH's alone in the Hebrew Bible. The addressees — the high priest and rulers who had crucified Jesus — make this declaration an act of extraordinary courage: asserting the soteriological exclusivity of one condemned by the very audience. The verse has been central in twentieth-century theological debates about religious pluralism, exclusivism, and inclusivism in Christian soteriology.
