I think "others" in our postmodern culture would view all Bible believing Christians as narrow minded because we believe Jesus is the only way, truth, and life. In my study and experience, no other holy book, except the Bible, has enough evidence to illustrate it's authoritative nature. I would say no it is not narrow mindedness.

Good stuff. In Christ alone! But I have a question. What role does our presuppositions play on the topic of "narrow mindedness?" What I mean is that every person under the sun with a brain and reason brings to the table their own preunderstandings. My presupposition, based on faith, guidance from the Spirit's conviction, and reason, is that the Bible is authoritative and the only definitive written Word of God. So, if I look at all religious Holy Books, I'm not going to view them on an equal plane until my reasoning elevates one as being authoritative. Is this narrow mindedness? Amen. Good stuff.
