[PODCAST] World Religions in Seven Sentences with Dr. Doug Groothuis

How much do you know about the major world religions? Whether it's atheism, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, or one of the many Eastern religions, humanity holds a wide array of beliefs about who God is and if He even exists at all. But what if more Christians dedicated time to learning about other religions? How could this strengthen our faith along with our ability to share the Gospel?

We're kicking off December with renowned Christian apologist and philosopher, Dr. Doug Groothuis, professor at Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, MI and the author of 20+ books, including his latest work, 'World Religions in Seven Sentences: A Small Introduction to a Vast Topic'. In this episode, Frank and Doug discuss the inspiration behind the book and unpack some of the core beliefs of today's major world religions—one sentence at a time. Together, they’ll tackle questions like:

-- What are the seven sentences that represent each world religion, and why did Doug choose them?
-- What makes Friedrich Nietzsche the "quintessential atheist"?
-- Should atheism be classified as a religion? And what typically happens when atheism and Marxism collide?
-- What are some of the key differences between Hinduism and Buddhism?
-- What's the connection between Nietzsche, Pol Pot, Ted Bundy, and human depravity?
-- Why do some people choose to be atheists?
-- What happened when Doug encountered a Hinda guru at the age of 18?
How do Judaism and Islam differ in their relationship to Christianity?

If exploring diverse faith systems seems overwhelming, 'World Religions in Seven Sentences' is the perfect guide to get started. Tune in as Frank and Doug reveal how false religions often lead to human suffering and why Christianity alone is the solution to the problem of evil in the world.
