Confused by the varying religious views in your workplace, neighborhood, even your family? Check out The Handbook of World Religions - contrasting 50 belief systems with Christianity. Christians believe Jesus' claim to be 'the way and the truth and the life' (John 14:6) - though dozens of other religions propose varying pathways to God, heaven, or ultimate personal fulfillment.
Describing these alternate viewpoints fairly and non-judgmentally, The Handbook of World Religions features major world religions (Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism), Christian-based religions (Mormonism, the Unification Church, Christian Science), traditional beliefs (African, Chinese, Native American), and various hard-to-categorize ideas about spirituality (Gnosticism, Hare Krishna, New Age, Rastafarianism, Wicca). This fully-illustrated guide is a fascinating and useful tool to help Christians understand others' beliefs.
