Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity and Non-Christian Religions Compared: Containing 800 Library References to Facilitate Further Study In this present age of seeming uncertainty in spiritual verities, and of exalting the heathen religions to the position of equality with Christianity, it becomes necessary that we examine their actual teachings and compare them with those of the Bible. This is made doubly necessary since the priests and pundits of some of the non-Christian religions have begun to visit England and America to promulgate their Oriental philosophy and metaphysics. Their listeners, not having a knowledge of the actual character of these systems, or of the saving grace of God in Christ, are sometimes caught by their subtle sophistry, and led, step by step, into very absurd beliefs. One of the most striking examples of this is seen in the transplanting of Hinduism into Christian lands, under the non de plume of Christian Science. The strongest and most satisfactory way of learning the relative value of the teachings of these various religious systems is to study them comparatively. This is an exceedingly difficult task, as it requires a large amount of time and patience to search through scores of volumes containing much that is tiresome and uninteresting. Then, too, it would doubtless be unwise for the average person to spend the money necessary to purchase the required number of books to get a comprehensive knowledge of these world religions. This volume endeavors to gather into brief paragraphs the teachings of the leading non-Christian religions, under about sixty fundamental topics. This enables the reader to secure within a few moments a general idea of what the people of the world believe on the most important moral and spiritual subjects connected with human life. A glance at the page of "Instructions" will assist the reader in getting the most help from the book. An effort has been made to give due credit to books from which quotations have been made. In the very wide research necessary through a large number of volumes, this may sometimes have been overlooked, for which the author offers due apology.

Download or read book Christ More Powerful written by Dr. Stewart Snook and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-10-06 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book compares the ideals, symbols and deliverers (saviors) of seven major non-Christian religions with the Christ of the New Testament. How do these religions relate to Christ and Christianity? The author shows that Christ is the only Savior who is a historical reality and not a myth. Verses from Scripture show who Christ is and how He overshadows the myths of deliverers in non-Christian religions. The ideals, symbols, and deliverers of each major religion, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism and Shinto, are discussed. The vision of this book is that people with contact with any of the seven major religions discussed may have Scripture to relate to the beliefs of these religions and be able to discuss meaningfully the significance of their beliefs with Christianity. The problem confronted in this book is Pluralism's claim that all religions lead to God. An alternative approach is presented, namely that Christ fulfills the ideals of any of the major religions presented. Throughout the discussion of each religion if the question of revelation. Would God give only revelation or many revelations for different cultures? The purpose of the book is not simply to compare religions. It is to show how the New Testament Christ fulfills any ideals or deliverer concepts in these non-Christian religions. The pattern of writing is to present material from each non-Christian religion and compare this with Christ as the more powerful, the incomparable, and only Savior of the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Non-Christian Religions of the World The progress of Islam was slow until Mahomet cast aside the precepts of toleration, and adopted an aggressive, militant policy. Then it became rapid. The motives which animated the armies of Islam were mixed - material and spiritual. Without the truths contained in the system, success would have been impossible, but neither without the sword would the religion have been planted in Arabia, nor beyond. The alternatives offered to conquered peoples were Islam, the Sword, or Tribute. The drawbacks and attractions of the system are examined. The former were not such as to deter men of the world from embracing the faith. The sexual indulgences sanctioned by it are such as to make Islam "the Easy way." The spread of Islam was stayed whenever military success was checked. The Faith was meant for Arabia and not for the world, hence it is constitutionally incapable of change or development The degradation of woman hinders the growth of freedom and civilization under it. Christianity is contrasted in the means used for its propagation, the methods it employed in grappling with and overcoming the evils that it found existing in the world, in the relations it established between the sexes, in its teaching with regard to the respective duties of the civil and spiritual powers, and, above all, in its redeeming character, and then the conclusion come to that Christianity is Divine in its origin.

Book excerpt: "In the twenty-first century, the meaning of non-Christian religions for Christian faith will become a central question. Are all religions, including Christianity, responding to the same transcendent truth or are religions fundamentally different? In Faith among Faiths, James Fredericks moves beyond the popular "pluralist" model of religions and explores the meaning of Christianity in light of non-Christian religions. By doing theology "comparatively," Fredericks shows how Christians can look upon religious diversity as an opportunity for enriching their own spiritual quest."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Gospel-Rich, Reproducible Model for Making Disciples as Jesus Intended Biblical discipleship emphasizes encouragement, repentance, and spiritual growth—essential parts of the Christian life. However, well-meaning believers often struggle to follow Jesus, unaware their views are too legalistic, licentious, or individualistic. How can churches and Christians develop a healthy, successful path to disciple-making? In this second edition of Gospel-Centered Discipleship, Jonathan Dodson presents an effective, Spirit-led model for sanctification. Reminding readers that real discipleship is imperfect yet transformational, Dodson encourages Christians to engage more authentically with others as they grow in faith. Drawing from his own failures and successes while following Jesus, Dodson defines discipleship, describes the heart of a disciple, and gives practical guidance for mentor and peer-based discipleship as Jesus intended. Revised and Expanded: Includes three new chapters and new illustrations Applicable: Shows how discipleship can be practical and gospel-centered Theological: Addresses the Holy Spirit's involvement in discipleship Foreword by Matt Chandler: Author of The Explicit Gospel

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do Jews, Muslims, and Christians worship the same God? Should Christians participate in Yoga or the martial arts? Christians today are constantly interacting with individuals, concepts, and practices from the world's religions. To be an effective witness and avoid embracing false ideas, it is essential for Christians to understand and evaluate the various religions from a biblical perspective. This book is designed to equip Christians for that task. Section one gives an overview of the major religions followed by a biblical critique. Section two presents an overview and biblical critique of popular religious ideas and practices such as alternative medicine, martial arts, and yoga. Section three addresses the challenges of religious pluralism and presents the author's defense for the unique and exclusive truth of Christianity. This is a needed resource for all who want to be an effective witness for Christ in a pluralistic world. "This is a handy, helpful handbook for witnessing to unbelievers from various and sundry religious perspectives." Dr. Norman Geisler, Christian scholar, apologist, author and founder of Southern Evangelical Seminary. "World Religions Through a Christian Worldview offers another excellent resource for learning about the beliefs of various religious groups and how they compare with the Bible. It will be helpful for Christians who want to understand and witness to members of these groups. Non-Christian readers will learn why Christianity is different from other religious claims."
