A critical task in Christian apologetics is understanding-properly-the relationship between other world religions and Christianity, where they overlap, and where they fundamentally divide.

Part two examines the religions in light of Christian teaching and responds to them by drawing on the Bible and historical Christianity. The appendix includes some helpful primary and secondary books relating to this theme for those who would like to read more.

An additional feature is the comparison of Christianity with world religions under 6 headings
Helps you understand and interact with people of other faiths

Derek Cooper has written a conversational and eminently accessible introduction for Christian students to other religious traditions...the beautiful thing about this introduction is its deep rootedness in Christian confession, conviction and practice--and its generosity of spirit toward other traditions...supplemented with helpful charts, tables and sidebars throughout, Cooper has authored a truly helpful book.
-Michael Lodahl,
Professor of Theology and World Religions,Point Loma Nazarene University

Christianity and World Religions is a special book. It is certainly information written for our times, and communicated in such a way that it will appeal both to those who have some understanding of the great religions of the world, as well as those who have very little understanding.
-Paul D. Kooistra,
Coordinator, PCA Mission to the World
