Families of Faith: An Introduction to World Religions for Christians
The major world religions once seemed far
away, but now are in our neighborhoods. How
can Christians understand them? How can we
respond in a way that is faithful to
Christianity while being respectful of the
other religions?
Martinson writes from his experience as a missionary and as a teacher of world religions. He approaches world religions as families of faith:
He provides authoritative information and helpful perspectives on the world religions, showing how we can best engage in dialogue with their followers. Questions for discussion are included.
