World Religions In Seven Sentences
$18.00Read moreUnderstanding the beliefs and practices of other faiths is essential not just to the task of interreligious dialogue, but also to grasping one’s own faith.
In this brief volume in IVP Academic’s Introductions in Seven Sentences, philosopher Douglas Groothuis creatively uses a single sentence representing each of several world religions as a way to open readers to their depth and complexity, including:
*Atheism: “God Is Dead.”
*Judaism: “I Am Who I Am.”
*Hinduism: “You Are That.”
*Buddhism: “Life Is Suffering.”
*Daoism: “The Dao That Can Be Spoken Is Not the Eternal Dao.”
*Christianity: “Before Abraham Was, I Am.”
*Islam: “There Is One God, and Mohammad Is His Prophet.”With a sympathetic but not uncritical approach, Groothuis welcomes readers to a vital and global conversation.
The accessible primers in the Introductions in Seven Sentences collection act as brief introductions to an academic field, with simple organization: seven key sentences that give readers a birds-eye view of an entire discipline.

Moreover, Moucarry dispels the many myths and misconceptions that both religions hold about the other, paving the way for charitable discussion. Understand how the gospel is good news for everyone.

Engaging With Mormons
$14.99Read moreA former Mormon writes an introduction to what Mormons believe and how Christians can reach out to them with the gospel.
Many people see Mormons as just another branch of the Christian church, and to be admired, perhaps, for their family life, morality and upright culture.
But the theology and spirituality of this cult are very far from an orthodox biblical understanding of true saving faith. And yet Christians are often fearful of engaging in conversations about the gospel with Mormons, knowing that there are suspicions and complex issues that lie beneath the surface.
This short book is designed to help both Christians and whole churches to understand more about the beliefs, mindset and motivations of those who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints (Mormons), and to reach out to them with the good news of the gospel.
Written at a level that everyone can understand, this book emphasizes the importance of forming loving, honest and open relationships as part of the way we engage with our Mormon friends and neighbors, and with those who may come knocking at our doors.
