It can also be used as the basis for a Bible study (and has DVDs and other resources that you can get). In this book, Hamilton provides a brief overview of the fundamental beliefs of five religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. However, it is important to recognize from the beginning that Hamilton unapologetically brings his own lens to this comparison. In fact, he spends a good portion of each chapter explaining how the other four religions are similar to and differ from Christianity. He also clearly advocates what he calls an inclusivist perspective, believing that God is at work in the life of non-Christians, but that Jesus Christ is the definitive revelation of God. I learned a lot from this book, but I'm certain that my reaction is partially due to the fact that my religious lens is similar to Hamilton's. Even so, I was occasionally taken aback by Hamilton's strong stance that his beliefs are "right." I do think that this book would generate good discussion in a group study, but, as with all religious books, I'll leave it up to you to decide if this book is right for you.

Adam Hamilton, named by PBS's Religion and Ethics Newsweekly as one of the top "Ten People to Watch," has created an inviting new series of video-and-book studies on love and marriage, life issues, world religions, and Christian denominations. Hamilton calls these small-group studies "fishing expeditions," because they include tools for congregation wide and communitywide programs to draw in new members. Components include DVD, participant's book, leader's guide, and pastor's guide with CD-ROM. 6-8 sessions / 60-90 minutes Christianity and World Religions: Wrestling With Questions People Ask is a video-based small-group study and outreach program that explores four major world religions- Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and Judaism - and compares the beliefs of each with those of Christianity. This six-week study deals openly and honestly with questions people ask about other religions, including why we should believe the claims of Christianity over those of other faiths. As part of the study, author and presenter Adam Hamilton interviews a religious leader from each tradition. He treats the world religions with great respect, recognizing the unique contributions of each. In examining these major world religions and the beliefs of their followers, the Reverend Hamilton urges us as Christians to build bridges with others so that we might grow in our faith, seek peace in our world, love our neighbor, and find positive ways to share the gospel. Contains 1 each of DVD, Participant's Book, Leader's Guide, and Pastor's Guide. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
