The major religions of the world are no longer in faraway places; they are now in our own neighborhoods, workplaces, and schools. Itś vital that we as Christians understand their history, teachings, and traditions so that we are better equipped to relate to them and communicate the gospel message to them. A great way to build these bridges to other faiths is through The Popular Encyclopedia of World Religions. This easy-to-read, user-friendly reference work will explain the origins of each major world religion, provide an overview of their key beliefs and practices, and reveal strategic "contact points" through which we can find ministry opportunities.
