Jesus Among Other Gods

This is a must read book, very touching and accurate reasonings. This book is best for both believers and non-believers

I have been following Ravi Zacharias lately so was keen to know more of his viewpoint of Christianity and hence picked it up. For anyone seeking more theological explanation on Christianity and how it compares to other world religions, this is an eye opener. The language isn't the easiest so bear that in mind before you pick it up, otherwise it's sheer brilliance!

Gives Clear picture and Clarity about Jesus Christ !! Best book !!

Good read and quick delivery

It's a great book of apologetic, good for Christian leaders as well as common people. Amazon deliver is smart and in time. Price of this book is high, would be good if is lower price, so that more people would read

Insightful

Nice book

Must read. It does make one think and surely will urge anybody to find the truth. Great writer.

I was looking for a way, as a Christian, to overcome the declarations of many that I come across that all Religions point to one God, and that 'we are the universe' - and my! I was not disappointed! What a wonderful journey this book takes you on, with some beautiful stories intertwined of people that Ravi has met on his journey. So well written, so highly recommended!!

I left the original book that I purchased brand new in 2002 when it was first published, in my backyard, on a chair overnight. It poured rain all night, so the book was ruined. I had to replace it but was not going to pay $26.00 for a book published 22 years ago. Amazon offered a "very good contiton" used book for half price. I ordered it it arrived right on time as usual and it was perfect. It did not look like anybody ever handled this book. Very happy with it and will keep re-reading it for as many years as the Lord allows me!

Je fais partie d'un groupe de dames et elles ont choisi ce livre pour l'étudier pendant un an.L'ayant lu anticipativement, je le trouve fort intéressant à première vue

What is it that makes Jesus radically different from other gods? Ravi Zacharias’ thought-provoking book should be read by those who are wondering why they should accept Christianity over and against any other religion, as well as for Christians who desire to know how to better communicate the truths of the Gospel to those of other faiths. JESUS AMONG OTHER GODS provides an informative overview (but not an exhaustive study) of eastern religions including Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism. It will give readers a starting point for engaging those of other faiths, by going deeper into human existential questions. For example, we must consider that every world-view – not just Christianity’s – must give an explanation or an answer for evil and suffering. As Ravi Zacharias explains, “Either evil categorically does not exist, as the atheist avows, or evil is “not ultimately real evil” as the pantheist claims, or evil is most coherently explained by the Christian view of God and His purposes in creation.” Having argued for the exclusivity of religious truth claims, Zacharias then examines the major world religions, showing how they fail to answer the fundamental questions of life, then presents a strong argument for Christ - He is who He claimed He was - the way, the truth and the life. Only through the acceptance of these exclusive claims could we make sense of life and find salvation. All religions cannot be right, because they fundamentally contradict one another. Some say religions are fundamentally the same but superficially different – that’s false. They may be superficially the same but fundamentally different. As the author states “All religions are not the same. All religions do not point to God. All religions do not say that all religions are the same. At the heart of every religion is an uncompromising commitment to a particular way of defining who God is or is not and accordingly, of defining life’s purposes.” The author’s defense of Christianity is plainly aimed at the Christian reader, but it is so deep and challenging that it compelled me to address many questions that I had never considered before.

Vergleich der Person und der Lehre von Jesus mit anderen Weltreligionen von kompetenter Hand geschrieben. (Andere Beiträge von Ravi Zacharias sind z,B. in youtube zu sehen.) Allerdings musste ich mich etwas an den Schreibstiel gewöhnen. Der Aufbau ist nicht strikt logisch hierarchisch durchstrukturiert, sondern mit Erlebnissen und Vergleichen untermalt, was aber auch eine gewisse Echtheit und Herzlichkeit hereinbringt.
