WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL ABOUT OTHER RELIGIONS?

Why are there so many different religions? Where did they come from? Are there many paths to God, or just one? How can anyone determine where the truth lies? The search for answers begins by going back to the basics-how these religions began, what they teach, and the validity of their claims. That’s the goal of authors John Ankerberg and Dillon Burroughs as they share the core essentials about…Christianity, Roman Catholicism, Judaism, Islam, Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Wicca, Kabbalah, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Shinto, New Age Religions, Agnosticism, and Atheism. Current research, comparative charts, and thoughtful analysis all work together to make this a valuable resource for those who desire clarity in their quest for truth.
