A good collection of theological topics with differing viewpoints and the scripture that shapes those beliefs. It presents several perspectives from groups like Calvinist/Arminian, Protestant, Catholic, Pentecostal, Seventh-Day Adventist, etc. and about topics like Bible translation/inerrancy, God’s character, Trinity, baptism, free will/salvation, Creation and Second Coming. The goal of this book is that the reader decides for themselves what they believe and why.
My favorite quote is in the epilogue: “The purpose of theology is to allow you to know God. At times we confuse knowing God with knowing facts about him. The facts are only half of the equation. As you come face-to-face with the glorious truths God reveals about himself, you should adore him and love him more. Truly learning theology will leave you in prayer and worship. Allow God’s truth to not only fill your head, but also permeate your heart.”

Very well-written. Each worldview was explained and the compared and contrasted with Christianity. The authors were up-front that they are Christians, but they kept a pretty neutral stance in presenting each view.
