Sharing the Truth in Love: How to Relate to People of Other Faiths

Rating:
Summary: Tolerance and Truth
Review: This book by Ajith Fernando (author of the outstanding book The Surpremecy of Christ) has written another outstanding text. He effectively demonstrates the weaknesses of Western Culture as well as its strengths and how Christians sometimes confuse the issues of truth and tolerance. Further, he shows how respecting another's religion and customs, without compromising one's faith, gains greater respect and opens up room for more effective dialogue.

All chapetrs are excellent. As one who has dialogued with cultic and world religion members, I can testify that this text is trustworthy in instructing the Christian on how to mind his table manners. I wish I had read a text like this 20 years ago when I first started embarking on the journey of discussing my faith with others who believe in another god.

A must read and purchase. You may read some chapters again as time passes by.

Summary: Excellent Christian perspective on world religions.
Review: This is an updated and revised version of "The Christian Attitude to World Religions." The author is from Sri Lanka and has published numerous other books on Christian themes, including a lengthy commentary on the Book of Acts.

The book is structured according to Paul's presentation in Acts 17. Mr. Fernando knows his subject matter well. He is fair and accurate in addressing other religions, but understands how they differ from Christianity.
