Do Other Religions Save?

I’d like to share a quote from Chris Wright, whose “life passion is bringing to life the relevance of the Old Testament for Christian mission and ethics.”

Other religions do not save, not because they are inferior as religions in some way, but because religion itself does not save anybody.  God does.  Other religions do not tell the story.  This is also why we cannot accept the substitution of the scriptures of other religions for the Old Testament.”*
