Synopsis

Derek Cooper takes us on a two-part tour of the world s most influential religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism, Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. The first part discusses the essentials of each faith by looking at each faith s creation story, historical origin, beliefs, religious writings, and worship practices, and adds Christian reflections about it. The second surveys how biblical authors and important Christians in church history have responded to different religions. An appendix includes some helpful primary and secondary books relating to this theme. Due to the increasingly global culture in which we live, it is important for Christians to know something about the major world religions so that we can speak confidently about our faith there is no place in our interactions for fear. On the contrary, by learning about other religions we are able to learn more about God and Christianity, and how we can be more faithful to Christ.
