FaithQuestions - What Do Other Faiths Believe?: A Study of World Religions

by Paul E. Stroble

This in-depth study will have 6-8 sessions. In it the author interviews leaders in Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and other faiths to explore how the beliefs and practices of these religions are similar to and different from basic Christian beliefs. Religious tolerance will be promoted by the understanding of other religions’ beliefs about sin, forgiveness, salvation, future beyond death, ethics, etc.

Reviews

[Lynn · Rating 2 out of 5]

I read this book for a class at our church. it gives a broad overview of several of the world's larger faiths and raises questions about how Christians relate to other religions. However, the writing isn't very exciting and the author's methodology basically consists in talking to people he knows in the Akron area.
