World Religions Class Wednesdays at 7:00pm

Christianity and World Religions, Wrestling With Questions People Ask, is a video-based study and discussion class facilitated by Peter Leslie, meeting Wednesday evenings, 7:00 pm through Feb. 17, 2010.

 

Based on the videos of Methodist Pastor Adam Hamilton, the class examines Christianity and four other major world religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam and Judaism.

 

This Overview class is designed to help us wrestle with tough questions people ask, such as: Why are there so many different religions? How should Christians view and relate to them? How is God at work in other religions? And, what is the fate of those who earnestly pursue God through other religions?

 

Adam Hamilton will describe how these religions began, interview leading teachers of each faith to discover their essential teachings, and suggest ways each religion differs from and are similar to Christianity. In the final session, we’ll explore some of the basic beliefs of Christianity, and Pastor Hamilton will present his answers to the question, "Why Christianity?"

 

The class will provide participant handouts containing key insights, a biblical foundation relating to each faith, a brief history of world religions, and continuing study references.

 

Please contact the office 663-1607 if you are interested in attending this class.
