Difficult subject simplified!

Explaining what other non-Christian religions believe and how a Christian can witness to such people in those other faiths can fill volumes. However, this book has done a wonderful job of offering simplified summaries for use in Bible study and for discussion of world religions and how Christians can witness to them. As a Lutheran pastor, I have used this book many times for Bible studies from 8th graders through adults. It gives an easy overview of the history, central teachings, significant people, other teachings, contemporary encounters, and a Christian connection to each of th 12 belief systems covered. Written from a Lutheran perspective, these Bible studies are nonetheless, accurate and helpful for Christians from any denomination. Twelve faiths are covered including: Judaism, Islam, Mormanism, Buddhism, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Scientology.
