Christianity and World Religions Leader Guide Revised Edition: Questions We Ask About Other Faiths

By Adam Hamilton

In Christianity and World Religions, Pastor and best-selling author Adam Hamilton explores four major world religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and Judaism—and the beliefs of each with those of Christianity. He deals openly and honestly with questions people ask about other religions like:


Why are there so many different religions?

How should Christians view other religions?

How is God at work in other religions?

What is the fate of those who earnestly pursue God through other religions?



In examining these major world religions and the beliefs of their followers, Hamilton urges us as Christians to build bridges with others so that we might grow in our faith, seek peace in our world, love our neighbor, and find positive ways to share the gospel.


The Leader Guide contains everything needed to guide a group through the six-week study including session plans, activities, and discussion questions, as well as multiple format options.
