Be My Neighbor. For those of us who have embraced a relationship with Christ, our church and fellow believers have become an important part of our lives. But while this community can provide comfort and support, it can also insulate us from the various ideas and concepts found around the world. In their search for answers to life’s tough questions, people are adopting a range of conflicting worldviews. But with so many viewpoints to wade through, it can become confusing to figure out what each religion or nonreligious group believes. TH1NK Books presents Worldviews: Think for Yourself About How We See God , a quick-reference tool that will help you navigate the various belief systems in the world today. With a conversational style and refreshing perspective, this guide aims to provide a broad view of the origins and core beliefs of world religions, as well as nonreligious systems like humanism and postmodernism, and to set them in context with the Christian faith. It is vital that we understand people different from ourselves. As you explore today's world religions, Worldviews: Think for Yourself About How We See God will broaden your horizons of who your neighbor is while reinforcing your faith in Him.
