"From the Publisher:" The next time someone claims all religions teach the same basic truths, how will you respond? Here's the factual support you need to defend the primacy of Christ and counter the assertions of Buddah, Krishna, Bahaulah, and Zoroaster. Easily assessible, absorbing answers to the tough questions searching minds are likely to ask.
Challenging the claim that no religion can be superior to another and the popular move to unite all religions, Lutzer explains that religion is not a wheel whose varied religions are spokes that ultimately lead to the same peace and harmony at the core. As the author confronts these myths, he brings readers face-to-face with Jesus Christ--our only intercessor.

Erwin Lutzer’s book titled Christ Among Many gods is similar to Ravi Zacharias’ book titled Jesus Among Other Gods. Both are attacks on religious relativeness. My
preference is Lutzer’s work. Ravi Zacharias starts his book talking his life’s journey before accepting Jesus as His own Savior. His approach is less analytical and more anecdotal. Lutzer does use his own fairly recent encounters with those who believe in religious relativeness and his response to those who hold this contrary view. Lutzer’s work is more cholarly.
How does one want to perceive Jesus: mere man or God? To believe scripture or to cast Him differently? Does one want to incorporate Jesus into other belief systems? Those who preach relativeness seek to portray Jesus as mere man or to portray him as one of many gods. Scripture depicts a different Jesus. Jesus is the Christ because He is God who became man while staying God. Not a god but the only God; Lutzer argues that Jesus Christ cannot be ncorporated into another belief system.
Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. (1 John 2:22 RSV)

This book has been written so lucidly at the same time with alot of emphasis on the uniqueness of Christ. It is an excellent book. Every Christian should have gone through this book at least for the sake of answering the questions which are put forward by our friends. One among the good books I have ever read in Apologetics. Hope you will enjoy reading this! May this book help you stand as an apologist where ever you are!
