A Guide to New Religious Movements

World Religions

“It is no longer a new revelation that the religious marketplace in the West has become increasingly diverse. We are getting used to the presence among us of religious movements that either have been exported from the East or have arisen on our own soil not too long ago. But to become conditioned to their presence and to learn about them with Christian compassion are two different things. This book goes a long way toward helping us get to know their content, but even more how to understand them better internally and externally. There are two evident advantages to this volume: For one, it concentrates on the major movements, rather than overwhelming us with all the many ephemeral societies that come and go. Second, I am struck by the fact that the contributors, obviously writing from their strengths, have managed to generate a level of interest that makes you want to read on. A great addition to the literature on new religions!”

Connecting with Muslims

Evangelism & Missions

“How can we share the gospel effectively with Muslims? In Connecting with Muslims, Fouad Masri, an Arab Christian, gives us helpful and practical insights on how we can convey the love of Christ to them. This is not a book of strategies or tactics. It is a guide to what we should understand about Islam and how Christianity may be understood by Muslims, so that we can faithfully represent Jesus. Relying on biblical principles, he shows us how to engage in and maintain fruitful conversations that lift up Christ without causing offense or compromising the gospel.”

Cross and Crescent

World Religions

“Cross and Crescent enables Christians to relate to Muslims positively without feeling that they are compromising their own beliefs. Chapman is not afraid to call down those who are either unreflectively hostile to Islam (such as writers who simply write off Muhammad as antichrist) or excessively conciliatory (such as interpreters who try to make Islam more sympathetic to Christ's crucifixion than it is). He, in turn, provides a guide that facilitates awareness, leading to informed and biblical attitudes. This is a beneficial book both intellectually and practically.”

Joseph Smith’s Tritheism

World Religions

“In the light of Mormonism's recent claims to be a valid Christian denomination, Dayton Hartman provides a thorough critique of its tritheism. By displaying Joseph Smith's beliefs and motivations, as well as contemporary efforts to conceal this heresy, he capably shows that it is incompatible with the Bible and early Christian doctrine. A solid treatment exemplifying careful academic interaction with aberrant theology.”

The Many Faces of Evil

Theology

“In this updated edition, Feinberg continues to press home the message that there are many versions of the problem of evil and that, in fact, there are many successful solutions to these versions as well. Feinberg gives a thorough presentation of the alternatives as well as of his own position. A valuable resource!”

The Wonderful Decree

Theology

“I highly recommend this book to anyone who may question how a Thomistic metaphysics and a Reformed theology can (and should) go hand in hand in addressing pertinent issues of life. For others, who are not as concerned with conceptual issues per se, this book will open their eyes to the love of God in the face of life’s hardships.”

To End All Suffering

World Religions

“In the worlds of interreligious dialogue and Christian apologetics, nothing is more needed than for Christians to engage with other religions solidly grounded in non-Christian beliefs without conceding the truth of Christianity--and to do so without creating unnecessary hostility . . . I am delighted that Mike Collender's insights are now available to a large reading audience.”

World Religions in Seven Sentences

World Religions

“As always, Doug Groothuis excels with his solid and sharp reasoning, expressed in his usual flowing and convincing style. He addresses six religions (including Christianity) and atheism (Nietzsche) by drawing a significant sentence or phrase from each. He then interprets the religions on the basis of this 'headline' and discusses the strengths and weaknesses, particularly in comparison and contrast with biblical Christianity. A very helpful handbook.”
